Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian

“Wow!” Tang Ning screamed in praise. “Chuen, you look amazing today. And your party is really luxurious!”

Ye Chuen glanced at Chi Shengxu, then flipped her carefully arranged hair. She chuckled, “My parents insisted. They wanted it to be different, so they built a stage by the swimming pool. I was planning to make it simpler. Shengxu, what do you think?”

“It’s nice.” Chi Shengxu glanced around blandly, then said, “But you need to make sure the stage is sturdy enough. Sangsang will go up there as your emcee later.”

“You don’t need to worry about that. I’m going up later as well.” Ye Chuen grabbed Luosang and Chi Shengxu’s arms and said, “Come on in. I want to introduce you to my parents.”

Luosang and Chi Shengxu glanced at each other and frowned slightly, then followed behind Ye Chuen.

Quite a lot of middle-aged men were sitting in the lobby. Ye Chuen guided them to a middle-aged couple who were dressed extremely luxuriously, then said, “Mom, Dad, these are my roommates. This is Luo Sang; she’s the emcee of the party. This is Chi Shengxu. Have you watched his movie? He’s really popular right now.”

Mrs. Ye glanced at the two of them, then fixed her eyes on Chi Shengxu, smiled, and said, “You look just like your mother.”

“Mom, do you know Shengxu’s parents?” Ye Chuen was surprised.

“Yeah, his mother is a friend of mine.” Mrs. Ye covered her mouth and continued banteringly, “Years ago his mother and I talked about letting our kids marry each other. I didn’t know that you two had met each other long ago.”

Ye Chuen glanced at Chi Shengxu shyly, then her face blushed.

Chi Shengxu frowned slightly, then said, “Mrs. Ye, I need to go to the bathroom.”

“Go,” said Mrs. Ye. After Chi Shengxu left, she looked at Luosang and said, “Chuen, your friend here is very young. I don’t think there will be any problems for her to be the emcee, right? After all, some seniors will attend the party tonight…”

“It’s gonna be fine. Luo Sang is even going to host the Christmas Gala in our school this year.” Ye Chuen was very confident about Luosang.

“Well, good. Thank you all.” Mrs. Ye nodded at Luosang and the others.

“Ah, Chuen, have you called Nian Xi? When will she arrive? You should also ask her if Junting will come. It would be nice if he could come,” Ye Dongwei said abruptly.

“I’ll ask.” Ye Chuen stuck her tongue. While guiding her friends upstairs, she called Nian Xi.

Luosang carefully listened behind her. Nian Junting hadn’t contacted her all day, so she didn’t know if he would come or not.

…

In the police station, Nian Xi got the call while dealing with a case about domestic violence.

“Party, yeah, yeah. I almost forgot about it if you didn’t call. I’m running round in circles. I’ll go after work,” Nian Xi said while typing.

“Will Junting show up? If he’s not busy, can you ask him to come? We can have fun together. Many shareholders of Zhou Zhong Group have brought their daughters to the party. He might even fall in love here,” Ye Chuen made a joke.

“I don’t think he’ll be there. He hates parties. But I’ll ask him,” Nian Xi replied. My brother already has a girlfriend, why would he attend a party like that? Ye Chuen asked her quite graciously, so she agreed to ask Nian Junting for her, but she didn’t actually make the call.

About forty minutes later, her phone rang again. She paused slightly when seeing the number, then answered the call and said, “Brother, what made you call me?”

“You’re going to Ye Chuen’s birthday party, aren’t you? I’m going with you,” said Nian Junting with a flat tone.
