Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian

“It’s eight in the morning. Get up work,” Xiao Si urged him.

“Thank you. I don’t need you to remind me.” Nian Junting held Luosang with one arm and said, “A single man like you has no idea what it feels like when you have a woman in your arms and feel so reluctant to get out of bed.”

“I’m single and free,” Xiao Si sneered. “Tell me what Luosang got you last night. You liked it so much. I’m going to get Ji Nuanyi the same thing.”

Nian Junting stayed silent.

“Just tell me,” Xiao Si repeated.

“I don’t think you can give her that…”

Xiao Si paused briefly, then said, “Damn, it wasn’t sex, was it? Isn’t Luosang at risk of miscarriage? Can you have sex? You need to be careful.”

Nian Junting snorted. You are so inexperienced. Do you think that having sex is the best thing in the world? You are wrong. There’re some things more exciting than that,he thought.

However, he couldn’t tell Xiao Si what it was or Luosang would be unhappy.

These kinds of private stories didn’t need to be shared.

As he stayed silent, Xiao Si thought he had admitted it. “I really can’t give her that then. We aren’t even together yet. If I asked her to have sex with me, she’d think of me as an indecent man.”

“You can only give her a gift like that after you became boyfriend and girlfriend. Bye, leave me alone.”

Nian Junting dropped the phone, saw Luosang opening her eyes and looking at him drowsily. She hadn’t fully woken up yet. Her star-like eyes were watery and her lips were red as cherries. It was early in the morning and she looked like a lazy cat. She was so beautiful that even looking at her made his heart miss a beat.

Thinking of the gift that he had last night, Nian Junting held Luosang and kissed her deeply, saying, “Luo, good morning. I had my best birthday last night, and got the best birthday gift ever. It was wonderful.”

Luosang’s cheeks turned red. Recalling what happened last night, her face blushed, and her heart raced. Of course, it was because Nian Junting was way too shameless.

“You’re not allowed to mention it again.” Luosang gave him a warning glare.

“Are you shy?” Nian Junting raised his eyebrows. “What’s wrong? Didn’t I serve you like that often?”

Luosang curved her lips downward and said proudly, “You insisted. Did I ever beg you? When you experienced something too many times, it can just become normal to you. Do you understand that?”

Nian Junting paused slightly in confusion then abruptly gave a smile and said, “Yeah? Just normal? I’d like to see how normal it is to you.”

After saying that, he kicked away the quilt, then quickly leaned his upper body down and landed a series of kisses on her body.

As Luosang shed tears because of the pleasure, he proudly got up, put on his clothes and said, “Isn’t it normal for you? Who was moaning and holding me, refusing to let go just now?”

Luosang gave him a kick and responded shyly, “I’m pregnant. Can’t you restrain yourself?”

“I did. You were lying there. I didn’t even ask you to move an inch. I was the one doing all the work and suffering the bad consequences. Can’t you see how uncomfortable I am feeling now? I can only take a cold shower. Women are really hard to satisfy.” Nian Junting snorted, then went into the bathroom.

Hearing him, Luosang blushed. He seemed to be right. She was indeed taking advantage of him. Although she was pregnant, he never let her suffer any discomfort in terms of sex. On the contrary, he suffered a lot. Luosang spent a short while feeling happy, then picked up her phone to check her friends’ WeChat moments. Seeing that everybody was asking what that gift was, she felt so shy.

Then, when reading the conversation between Xiao Si and Ji Nuanyi, she started to have some dirty thoughts in her mind. That didn’t seem to be an appropriate gift for Xiao Si to give Ji Nuanyi.

…

In the morning, after breakfast, a young man in a military uniform walked in.

“Miss Xu, good to see you. I am Director Xu’s secretary. You can call me Xie. The director asked me to deliver this. He said that it is a gift for you.” Xie handed her a little brown box.

Luosang was flattered as Nian Qingyun had never liked her. She opened the box and saw a jade pendant.

“This is…?” she asked.

Xie smiled. “This is a jade pendant, passed down from the ancestors of Nian Family since the Qing Dynasty.”

Luosang stuttered, “This… is not… the Nian Family’s family treasure… is it?”

Xie found her reaction funny.

“You could say that,” he said.

Luosang instantly felt as if the pendant weighted over 1000 kilograms.

“I have delivered the gift so I’ll be leaving.” Finished talking, Xiao Xie said goodbye and left.

Luosang spent a long while staring at the jade pendant then quickly called Nian Junting to tell him about that.

“Oh, since he has sent it to you, you should keep it,” said Nian Junting carelessly. As if that pendant wasn’t his family treasure but was just a piece of pork.

“This is… expensive, right?”

“Well, not really. It’s worth about ten-million.”

Ten million…

Oh, that was not really expensive. Ever since Nian Junting lost a diamond ring which was worth about a hundred million, Luosang found that she had lost her sense of money. Even though she only spent tens of yuan every day.

“That is the most important thing to my father, and that was everything he had,” Nian Junting added.

“He shouldn’t give it to me then. He should give it to Nian Xi.” Luosang felt under pressure. “Why is he suddenly so nice to me?”

“I guess he wants me to help him to win my mother back,” said Nian Junting bluntly.

“He’s trying really hard,” Luosang murmured, “Will you help him or not?”

“No. I won’t help any of them.” Nian Junting gave his answer without hesitation.

“Then I think I should give the jade back to him…”

“No. That thing passes down from generation to generation. It was going to be yours anyway.”

Luosang suddenly started feeling sorry for Nian Qingyun. He even gave her the family treasure, yet his son still firmly refused to help him.

…

Three days later, Luosang received a phone call from the police in An City. At nine in the morning, Yi Jingxi had turned himself in. After ending the phone call, she was dazed for a long time. As she came back to her senses, her hands were shaking slightly.

Yi Jingxi had told her that he would turn himself in. However, nothing had been heard in so many days. She was worried. Yi Jingxi had lied to her far too many times after all. Only at that very moment, was she sure that she was not in a dream.

Xu Zhengxuan is finally coming out of prison.

However, he couldn’t be released immediately. Even though Yi Jingxi had turned himself in, the case had lasted for a couple of years and the police still needed to go through all the procedures.

That day, Nian Junting decided to stop work and go to An City with Luosang. As Xu Zhengxuan’s lawyer, An Lan would go with them. Luosang also informed Mo Liuxi about it. Mo Jin hated Xu Zhengxuan, but after all, Mo Liuxi was his son.

After hearing Luosang’s words, Mo Liuxi stayed silent for a time, then refused to go. “I’m not going. I’m furnishing my flat.”
