Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian

After the police car left, Luosang sat up from the backseat. She was angry and ashamed at the same time, so she stuck her head out to the front seat and bit Nian Junting on the neck. “It’s all your fault! You’re bad!”

Nian Junting carried her to the front seat, put his arms around her, and chuckled. “Don’t be shy. You see, you’ve even gotten through that embarrassing time with Yan Su. She heard you and knew that we were doing it on the table. Nian Xi didn’t see or hear anything, so why do you care? She came out here to look for prostitutes when she had nothing else to do. It’s nothing strange. Forgive her. You’re experienced.”

Is that how you use the term “experienced?” Luosang felt speechless. She even wanted to bite him to death at that moment. However, as she gave it a second thought, she was actually less ashamed because of his ridiculous explanation. Indeed, the more she experienced, the stronger her mind would be.

The next morning, she had breakfast with Yan Su. Seeing the latter spending time with her phone calmly, she was suddenly relieved. Any big matter would eventually become history and leave nothing but peace. In the worst case, Nian Xi might laugh at her the next time she saw her. What should she be afraid of? She had even been caught having sex on the table.

…

Saturday, she asked the crew for a day off, then flew to An City with Nian Junting and Lu Kang. After they arrived at the airport, the people from a branch of Nian Junting’s company drove them to a sanatorium near the town that Yi Jiangxi’s mother lived in. That place was near a spring spa hotel with great views. It was spring, the air was fresh, and blooming flowers were everywhere.

On their way to the sanatorium, the driver introduced that place to them. “That sanatorium is far away, but it has the best dwelling environment in the city, and of course, it’s pricey.”

Luosang nodded. Yi Jingxi was surely able to have his mother live in a good sanatorium.

Nian Junting and Luosang arrived at the sanatorium at 12:40pm. The elderly people who lived there had just finished lunch. At that moment, they were gathering at the pavilions and chatting.

Lu Kang entered the place, asked a nurse some questions, then came out and said to Luosang, “I heard that the lady in the dark-red outfit who’s sitting in that pavilion is Yi Jingxi’s mother. The nurse wouldn’t tell me at first. Clearly, Yi Jingxi has asked them to keep his mother’s identity secret. I gave her ten thousand to make her talk. The full name of Yi Jingxi’s mother is Chu Lei.”

Nian Junting raised his brows. Luosang’s heart started beating rapidly. She hurriedly walked toward that middle-aged woman who was wearing the dark-red outfit.

Chu Lei was only about 50 years old. Among a group of gray-haired elderly people, she looked outstanding. She had wrinkles on her face, but still, one could tell that she used to be a beautiful woman. She wasn’t talking with anyone but only watching people chat with a sad smile on her face.

“Madam,” Luosang walked to her and greeted her.

Chu Lei was puzzled for a moment at first, then the look on her face turned a little weird. A while later, she asked, “Can I help you? Do I know you?”

Luosang threw out a series of questions. “Do you really not know me? I was on the news earlier. My father is Xu Zhengxuan. You were his student, right? I’m also your son’s ex-fiancee. Yi Jingxi is your son, right?”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Chu Lei stood up and walked out of the pavilion.

However, she only made it a few steps before a tall man blocked her way. Nian Junting looked down at her. The look on his face was calm but aggressive. “You’re trying to hide something. Normally, people tend to be shocked when they hear a strange girl say that she’s their son’s ex-fiancee, but your first response was to walk away.”

“That’s because I don’t know you.” Chu Lei raised her head. “My son never had a fiancee. At least, he never talked to me about that. I haven’t been minding his business for a long time. You shouldn’t have come here to see me.”
