Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian

“Although it isn’t your birthday, it’s the day we first met.” Nian Junting was so happy with himself that he was grinning.

Luosang paused. “You still remember it?”

“Of course.” Nian Junting raised his chin proudly. “The day that you finished nursing was the day that you signed a contract with Steward Wu. I asked Steward Wu to find that contract for me, so I know the day we met.”

“…”

Luosang was touched at first.

She thought he could remember such little details, but in the end, he had needed to look for some contract.

“You can’t blame me.” Nian Junting saw through her thoughts and added, “Who asked you to be ugly and dowdy back then? You practically made people not want to take a second look after the first. Too much of a shock to the eyes.”

“All right, give me the phone.” Luosang didn’t want to talk about those times.

“Come over and change your passcode to my birthday.” Nian Junting hooked his finger.

Luosang was finding him increasingly annoying recently. “Can’t you see that I’m a pregnant lady? Yet, you still ask me to come over.”

“I wanted to offer my leg for you to sit.” Nian Junting placed one of his legs down.

Recently Luosang noticed he frequently liked to pull her onto his thigh to sit; she wasn’t very willing. The main reason was that sometimes when the two of them got too close, she could feel some activity from down below.

“I don’t want to sit.”

“Then do you want me to carry you?” Nian Junting’s eyes narrowed.

Luosang pouted and walked over to sit on his thigh.

Nian Junting circled his arms around her from below her arms. “Change it.”

Luosang unlocked her phone using her fingerprint. Nian Junting saw at once what content she was looking at.

Only after Luosang had changed her passcode to his birthday did he say, “You’re looking at news about Yi Jingxi again?”

“Yes.” Luosang nodded. “I realized the reporters are really good. They even dug up many things that I didn’t know about.”

“What do you know about him?” Nian Junting couldn’t help being sarcastic after hearing that. “I’m guessing that you probably only know that he is called Yi Jingxi and that he is a man, or else you wouldn’t be cheated so badly.”

His words hit right on the mark so Luosang pinched his thighs.

Nian Junting could only obediently behave. “For example…”

“For example, his family used to be rather well-off,” Luosang said. “His father was in the medical equipment sector. However, his father passed away in an accident. The place where he passed was An City. He was killed by a fire that started in a hotel.

Nian Junting frowned. He hadn’t much to say about this sort of thing.

After all, this way was too painful to lose a loved one.

“No wonder Yi Jingxi’s personality is so twisted.” Luosang sighed. “But isn’t it such a coincidence his family all came from An City, and his father died in An City? Could it have something to do with my family? The reason why he hates my father so much? I still believe my father, and I believe there must be a misunderstanding somewhere.”

Nian Junting tightened his hug. “Stop overthinking. Everything will come to light one day. An Feng and her team have locked themselves in their rooms to study the court case, even against Lawyer Cao. They won’t lose.”

“Mm.” Luosang laid on the curve of his arm quietly.

“Excuse me for bothering the two of you again.” Outside the wooden door, the sound of An Feng’s soft laughter came suddenly.

Nian Junting stood up to open the wooden door. “I only just praised you. Why did you come over? It’s already been four days in a blink of an eye and the court is opening again soon.”

“I heard the news the court session has been temporarily suspended.”

 “It’s because Yi Jingxi is injured and hospitalized,” said An Feng.
