Luosang was shocked, and she found it hard to keep up with his tempo, “I don’t mean that, Mr. Nian…”
“What time do you finish school in the afternoon? Let’s go pick out a ring for you at the mall,” Nian Junting interrupted her.
“I don’t really want to head out tonight Mr. Nian,” Luosang said tiredly, “I only fell asleep at 2am in the morning and then got up at 7am. I’m exhausted, and I just want to catch some sleep.”
“Alright then. I’ll pick you up after school, and you can sleep at the Tianhu Villa.”
“What time do you finish school?” Nian Junting repeated his question.
Luosang sighed before she said, “Mr. Nian, if you’re bringing me home on the first night we get together, then I’m going to refuse to go out with you.”
Nian Junting’s handsome expression took a double take, “Are you misunderstanding something? I’m taking you to the villa for you to catch some proper sleep. I’m not going to force you to sleep with me. You aren’t as innocent as I thought Luosang.”
“I…” Luosang was flushed red. It was true that she thought he meant otherwise, “No, I didn’t.”
“Wow your generation is quite different from mine. People of my age are more innocent and simple, but you have all sorts of lusty thoughts in that head of yours,” Nian Junting concluded, “I do like some good teasing and playing coy though, it’s refreshing.”
By now, Luosang was blushing from anger, “What’s my generation and your generation? Aren’t we only six years apart?”
“You’re right, six years is nothing,” Nian Junting followed, “It was wrong of you to think that we’d be unsuitable for each other because of our age previously.”
Luosang was speechless, and as their conversation continued, she felt like she was digging a deeper and deeper hole for herself.
“Whatever. I’m not going to sleep at your place,” Luosang said.
How naïve did he think I was? The natural course after sleeping at the villa would be sleeping together in the same bed, Luosang thought.
“I’ll rest in my own dormitory. If we’re going to be in a relationship, then we have to take things slow. Another thing, Mr. Nian, I hope you understand that my studies are my top priority as a university student…”
Nian Junting was a little miffed. He didn’t expect himself to be outweighed by her studies, but he admired her for being ambitious and determined, “I’ve heard that you are the top student in your faculty…”
“Yup.”
“Is being number one very important to you?”
“It’s not the most important I guess, but I’m used to putting in my best effort into everything I do. I’ve been that way since I was a kid.”
Nian Junting let out an approving smile and nodded, “Me too.”
You can imagine if the two of them got married. Their kids would be perfect as well.
Um… how does he manage to fit in boastful comments about himself in every conversation? Luosang thought. She pursed her lips and changed the topic quickly, “Oh right. Nian Xi said that you sent the fingerprints to the forensics team. Why didn’t you tell me about it last night? How much did you spend?”
“Nothing. I didn’t run the tests,” Nian Junting smirked.
Luosang was taken aback, “You guys were lying?”
Nian Junting chuckled, “You think they could have analyzed them within one night? Besides, by the time I met you two last night it was well after hours. It wasn’t urgent enough for me to request them to put aside their tasks at hand, or call them back for overtime, and I’m not the mayor you know?”
