Also, Nian Xi’s chest was so soft. It was as soft as the last time.
He hesitated to raise his arms to hold her tight. While he was struggling, Nian Xi’s phone suddenly rang.
She let go of him and answered the call.
Jiang Yuning silently complained about the call. Why did that person have to call her at that very moment? So annoying. He had almost held her in his arms.
“It’s my mom. She told me to hurry.” After ending the call, Nian Xi said to him, “Let’s go.”
Jiang Yuning nodded quickly. After walking a while, he looked at the files in Nian Xi’s hands and said, “Let me carry your things.”
Nian Xi turned back, saw the expectant look in his eyes. She hesitated for a few seconds, then handed him everything in her hands.
She had a free bag carrier. There was no reason for her not to use him.
In the car, Nian Xi said to him, “Later, you’ll meet my parents and other elders in my family. Be sure to greet them. Don’t act like last time when you were at my brother’s place. My mom is fine, but my father and grandparents take courtesy seriously.”
“Alright.” Jiang Yuning nodded and said, “I’ve already met your father.”
Recalling that ridiculous meeting, Nian Xi felt a headache coming on.
“I think your father is a nice person.” Jiang Yuning continued with, “We had a great time together.”
Nian Xi’s mouth corners twitched. Did he have some misunderstandings about the terms “great time?” Her father was furious back then.
“Are you sure?”
“Yeah.” Jiang Yuning nodded and blinked his eyes.
“Alright.” Nian Xi wasn’t sure how to respond to that, so she asked him another question, “What about my brother?”
“Also nice. Jiang Yuning nodded. “He treated me to shumai. The shumai was delicious. He is a good person.”
“Who do you consider not good?”
“The bad guys.” Jiang Yuning thought for a moment before answering her question.
Nian Xi kept driving in silence. At first, she worried that he might have his feelings hurt when he met her family. Now, it turned out she didn’t need to worry about that at all.
On their way there, Nian Xi realized that she didn’t have enough cash. She needed to prepare her nephew a big red envelope full of cash.
She pulled over and said to Jiang Yuning, “Wait here. I’m going to get some cash.”
“I have cash.” Jiang Yuning immediately took out his cash.
Nian Xi looked at his wallet, which was filled with a stack of bills. Only rich old people carried so much cash nowadays.
“I need cash because I have to prepare my nephew a red envelope,” she said.
“Okay. Jiang Yuning nodded and put his wallet in her hand and said, “I have money.”
Nian Xi looked at the persistent boy and chuckled. “I can’t use your money just yet. If it’s only a small amount of money, I wouldn’t mind. But I need over ten-thousand yuan this time.”
Jiang Yuning furrowed his eyebrows. He wanted so much for Nian Xi to spend his money. Her refusal made him feel not so good.
“I want to give you all my money,” he said without thinking when Nian Xi opened the door and got out of the car.
Nian Xi was dazed. She turned around and saw the serious look on Jiang Yuning’s face. She almost jumped on him and kissed him on the lips.
How could he be so adorable! However, she told herself that as a girl, she needed to restrain herself.
“Be patient. Save your money. One day, you’ll be giving me a huge sum of money at one time.” she winked at him, then left.
Jiang Yuning pressed a hand on his heart. Did Nian Xi just wink at him? He felt as if he was hit by an electric current.
Or was it a thunderbolt?
By the time Nian Xi returned with her cash, Jiang Yuning was counting his money. After that, he turned to Nian Xi and said to her, “From this day on, I won’t spend more than one yuan on myself every day. I’ll save the rest of my money for you.”
The sincere look on his face turned her heart to mush. “Um… you don’t need to save money that hard. You can always earn more.”
“Say nothing. I have already made my decision.” Jiang Yuning seriously shook his head and said, “I need to start saving money for marriage”
