Feng Ji Chuan’s face wore a very complicated expression.
He was extremely embarrassed.
“Nian Xi, you’re a girl. How can you say something like that? Don’t you know why I never had sex with you? Your father and brother warned me about it. They don’t allow pre-marital sex.”
“Yeah. Fortunately, I didn’t have sex with you. I’d be so angry if you were my first and I would’ve ended up being in the same place as another woman.” As she finished talking, Nian Xi quickly left.
In the bathroom in her office, she took off her clothes, and saw a large bruise on her back. She gasped in pain.
That afternoon, Nian Junting heard about what she did, and gave her a compliment. “Not bad. You’re just like your father. Next time when you come back, I’ll teach you a few moves. You’ll beat that boy.”
“Forget it. You’re out of practice. I’d rather go to my brother to learn moves.” Nian Xi thought for a moment, then asked, “Dad, do you know Jiang Yuning from long ago?”
“Yes. His people told me about it last time,” Nian Qingyun said. “I also heard from some other people that he came to the city last year to do a secret project. His project is approved by the government.”
Nian Xi had guessed some of it.
“Nian Xi, you cannot tell anyone else about this. Once the secret about his project is leaked, his life will be in danger. Since you have accepted this mission, you need to… keep him safe.”
“Dad…”
“Between the country and your personal safety, I have to choose the country. This is why I didn’t want you to become a police officer in the first place. I wanted my daughter to be safe.” Nian Qingyun gave a long sigh.
Suddenly, Nian Xi felt bitterly warm.
…
The next day, Luosang went to try on her wedding dress with Nian Xi.
Luosang asked her and Yan Su to be the bridesmaids, and Xiao Si and Mo Liuxi to be the groomsmen.
When she arrived at the wedding dress store, Nian Sang was already there. Standing beside her, was a pretty girl who had long, straight hair. She was wearing a simple black t-shirt and a pair of jeans.
“Yan Su, Yan Su, I finally get to meet you in person!” At the sight of Yan Su, Nian Xi rushed up to her and gave her a huge hug. “Luosang recommended your songs to me. I love them! But of course, that is not important. What important is, I’ve been wanting to see you for a very long time. I heard that you were also in a long relationship like I was, and that man also hurt you ruthlessly. I’ve been feeling that you and I have the same misfortune.”
Under Nian Xi’s passionate hug, Yan Su took a few steps backward. She didn’t even know how to react.
“I often hear Sangsang talk about you,” said Yan Su. “In fact, I couldn’t make up my mind at first. Later on, she told me about how decisive you were. That’s how I finally made the decision. I really admire you.”
“No, I admire you. You see, to prove yourself to your ex-boyfriend, you have now become a famous singer. I believe that if your ex-boyfriend saw your achievement, he’d be so regretful.”
Hearing them complimenting each other, Luosang felt a little speechless. She couldn’t help but join the conversation. “There is a difference between you two though. You’re twenty-five, and she’s twenty-three.”
Nian Xi turned and glanced at her. She even wanted to give Luosang a kick, but for the sake of the baby, she didn’t. “Sangsang, you’re as sharp-tongued as my brother now.”
“She kisses me every day, so she has my venom.” Nian Junting’s voice was heard from behind her.
Luosang’s face reddened. She turned around, prepared to scold him. Behind her, Nian Junting was in black trousers, a white jacket, and a black bowtie. He was tall and strong, and his body shape was as perfect as a statue.
Coupled with his handsome face and his dashing smile, he was emitting a royal aura. He looked like what Prince Charming would look like in real life.
Although Luosang saw him every day, she had rarely seen him in a white suit.
Her heart fluttered.
“Am I handsome?” Nian Junting was looking at her seductively.
He wanted to hear it from her even though he already knew the answer.
“…”
She was too embarrassed to say it out loud with everyone there.
“You are, you are. You are the most handsome one of them all,” Nian Xi said quickly. She had goosebumps all over watching her brother fish for compliments like that.
“I don’t want to hear your answer.” Nian Junting was still staring at Luosang passionately.
Luosang lowered her head and cleared her throat. “You look handsome. Let’s order this for our wedding.”
“Sang, what about us?” Xiao Si pushed the smug-looking Nian Junting aside. He stepped forward, pulling Mo Liuxi along with him.
Xiao Si’s lips were pink and he looked clean and carefree, resembling an aloof scholar in a black suit.
Mo Liuxi was the youngest amongst them. He was wearing a black suit too. He emitted a different aura from the other two men. Less mature but more youthful. He looked like a fairy who walked out from an anime book, with two hands in his pockets looking distracted and uninterested. The three women were stunned.
The two other men were jealous when the women paused to look at Mo Liuxi.
Nian Junting jumped in front of him, blocking him from their view. “What’s there to ogle at? He’s just a pre-pubescent boy.”
Luosang didn’t say anything but Nian Xi rolled her eyes. “He’s younger than the both of you.”
Xiao Si looked dismayed. “That’s not pleasant to hear. I have a dimple all right. I look much younger than Ting at least.”
“All right. I think I don’t need groomsmen at my wedding after all. You both can head back,” Nian Junting said coldly.
He thoroughly regretted asking the two men to be his groomsmen, especially Mo Liuxi.
“Don’t joke around. Let’s order the suits. It’s our turn to pick a gown now.” Luosang was pulling her friends along.
Nian Junting stood up immediately.
Xiao Si said, “Don’t follow them. Let’s sit and talk for a bit. Nian Xi and Yan Su will pick out something nice for her.”
“No. I can’t miss out on any details that have to do with the wedding and my woman.” Nian Junting quickly followed the girls.
Nian Xi nudged Luosang enviously. “Look at how well my brother treats you. I can’t help but remember the time I tried on bridal gowns last year. Feng Jichuan was late, and you were with me then as well. Now, I’m your bridesmaid, in a blink of an eye.”
“Don’t think about those unhappy memories.” Luosang comforted her.
Yan Su nodded her head. “At least you’ve tried on wedding gowns before. I’ve never tried one on in my life.”
“…”
Was it a competition of the biggest victim?
The gowns made Luosang look so blissful and happy. When they were choosing one, the staff members were recommending all types to Luosang. “What do you think about this one? It’s made with the most delicate and expensive fabric. It is embroidered with fifty crystals on it.”
“How much is it?” Nian Junting asked.
“Two million dollars.”
“It’s so cheap?” Nian Junting was unsatisfied. “How can my woman wear something so cheap?”
“…”
“Actually, we have a prized grown at our boutique.” Suddenly, the staff member lit up. “It’s just a little expensive, it costs twenty million dollars.”
“All right. Let’s try that one.” Nian Junting nodded his head.
