Chapter 1232: We Are Such a Good Match
“What about you?” Luosang asked.
“Me?”
Nian Junting thought for a moment and said, “I don’t care what he does. He’s a scientist, so what? If he’s not a good person, I’ll still say no. What’s important is if he can be nice to Nian Xi. I think he’s better than before. He wouldn’t even look at me nor talk to me before. That was annoying.”
As he finished, he found Luosang looking at him smilingly.
He blushed lightly, clenched his fists and gave a cough. “Eh-hem. She’s my little sister after all.”
“Hm.” Luosang nodded. “She is your little sister, but she can barely feel any warmth from you, her big brother. I hope she can find a man who will treat her like a princess.”
“Stop. Time to sleep.” Nian Junting held her and laid down.
“Isn’t it too early to sleep now?” said Luosang. “It’s barely eight o’clock.”
“Silly.” Nian Junting pinched her nose and said, “I’m not saying that we’re really going to sleep.”
Luosang didn’t know what to say.
…
The Audi drove into town. Once again, Jiang Yuning, as a man, felt it was inappropriate to always make the girl drive him home. Besides, Nian Xi had been busy all day. She was already tired, and she needed to drive him home. He didn’t want that.
“Xi, how about you don’t drive me home?” Jiang Yuning hesitated briefly, then said, “Just go straight home. I’ll clean your apartment, then ask Uncle Han to send a car to pick me up.”
He persistently wanted to clean her apartment. Nian Xi found that both funny and annoying. “Your hands are injured. How are you going to clean my apartment?”
“But… I don’t want you to drive. You must be tired,” said Jiang Yuning with guilt.
Nian Xi was warmed by his words. “I’m not tired. When I worked in a local police station, I always drove all over the city. I’ve gotten used to it.”
“I’m not used to seeing you being tired,” Jiang Yuning said honestly. “You are my queen. You have to feel comfortable when you are with me.”
Nian Xi paused briefly when she heard him that. She remembered when she first became a policewoman. She got up so early and went home so late. She was exhausted every single day. Except for her family, no one ever worried about her.
Her family always wanted her to get married, so that she would have a nice man to look after her. She didn’t understand that before, but now, she started to get it.
Even a super strong person would want someone to rely on someday.
Would Jiang Yuning be that person for her? She remembered hearing people say that he was working on a very mysterious project. Nian Qingyun didn’t want her to be with Jiang Yuning because he didn’t want her daughter to get involved in something like that.
“Yujing, what is the project that you’re working on?” she said to him. “I heard that you’ve been working on a mysterious project. Is that true?”
“N-no… I’m not.” Jiang Yujing’s expression changed.
Nian Xi didn’t say anything else but looked straight ahead.
After a long while, Jiang Yuning stuttered saying, “Xi, it’s not that I don’t want to tell you. Some projects are secret, especially now. Now is an era of high-tech development. The competition in the science world is very strong. I’m not on that project anymore. I’m only doing some small projects that will help people with their lives.”
“I get it. I’m not mad at you. I am a policewoman, so I can understand,” said Nian Xi. “You are doing the right thing not telling me.”
“I understand.” She stopped the car before a red light and continued by saying, “Because we are the same. Our jobs require us to contribute to our country.” She looked at him in the eyes.
Her black eyes glowed in the darkness, like the eyes of a cat. Jiang Yuning was nearly lost in those eyes. A short while later, he smiled shyly and said, “So, we’re such a good match.”
