Chapter 1515: It Really Stank, and Xixi Definitely Would Not Be Pleased
“I would also do this for the sake of my loved ones, and for the sake of growing old together with her.” Every word that Nian Junting said was elegant. “I don’t understand what project of yours the other party is coveting, but it must be important. No matter where you hide, even if you’re protected, you can’t possibly hide for the rest of your life. You’ll have to think for her family members.”
“We’ve discussed this idea before.” Xu Gang gritted his teeth and said abruptly, “But I objected strongly because I felt that it wouldn’t work for Mr. Jiang. However, this is certainly the best solution, and Mr. Jiang won’t have to break up with Miss Nian.”
Uncle Han replied coldly, “But it’s also possible that he won’t ever be able to return.”
“What exactly are you guys talking about?” Jiang Yuning was completely lost. “What’s the solution that doesn’t need me to break up with Nian Xi and can allow us to be together until we’re old?”
Uncle Han could not put up with this anymore. He yanked Jiang Yuning up intending to leave. “Sir, don’t listen to them. You should return to the laboratory.”
“No, I want to listen,” Jiang Yuning said obstinately and refused to budge.
Nian Junting rubbed his brows, while Xu Gang smiled helplessly. “We’re saying that you should work as an undercover. TOX is currently targeting Miss Nian, but their motives are actually very simple. They want you to hand over what they want. If the thing that they want is in your mind, then we can only bring you to them. A genius scientist like you is a prized treasure to people like them. We can’t send other spies over as the people in their organization are all skilled in technology. You won’t be able to pass any message out unless you’re also skilled in technology!”
“Under… undercover?” Jiang Yuning’s lips quivered in fear. “…I’ve watched movies about spies with Nian Xi before. It looks very… very scary.”
Nian Junting was speechless.
“You heard him,” Uncle Han said crossly. “Our Mister has never even lied before. He’s especially timid.”
“It’s just a suggestion. I’m not insisting that he should go. He should think this through himself. These are his affairs, and I’m merely an outsider. You guys can mull over it slowly, but the pressing matter on hand is to give Nian Xi a call or to clarify things with her in person,” Nian Junting replied with a frown on his face. “If you still won’t go, she’ll think that I’m the one who threatened you to leave.”
“I’ll go. I’ll go meet Nian Xi.” Jiang Yuning immediately straightened his back. If nobody was going to threaten him to break up with Nian Xi, then he would head over to her immediately.
Nian Junting was speechless when he saw how sloppy Jiang Yuning looked. “Please shave your beard and brush your teeth. God knows how many days you’ve gone without brushing your teeth. It stinks!”
After Jiang Yuning huffed out a breath of air and took a sniff. He was also disgusted with himself.
It stank so much, and Xixi definitely would not be pleased. She would always ask him to brush his teeth clean before they kiss.
Jiang Yuning leaned against the window of the car and spaced out while they were on their way to the villa.
Meanwhile, Nian Junting kept answering calls from his home and his office.
Finally, when they were not far from the villa, Jiang Yuning suddenly asked glumly, “What if someone steals Nian Xi from me while I’m working as an undercover? Like Feng Ji Chuan for instance. He always has his eyes on her.”
Nian Junting almost slammed on his car brakes out of shock.
He glanced sideways at the man beside him. Jiang Yuning still looked fair and well-groomed, but his clear eyes were oozing with sadness, which made Nian Junting’s heart sink.
He never actually expected Jiang Yuning to agree to the solution that he had proposed earlier on.
“You’ve decided…”
“No. I merely want to have a future with Nian Xi,” Jiang Yuning said as he lowered his head. “Besides, I also need to be responsible for Nian Xi.”
