Jiang Yuning nodded and asked her, âWhy did you suddenly cancel the wedding?â
âIt was complicated.â Nian Xi sighed. âThe trigger was that I was once on night shift without dinner. I wanted him to bring me some food, but he didnât. Instead, he lied to me. He told me that he was with his army friends, but I saw him coming out of a bar holding Shuangwei in his arms when I was on patrol...â
âHe cheated on you.â Jiang Yuning nodded again. He believed that he had it figured out.
Feng Ji Chuan turned out to be a dishonest guy. He couldnât believe he actually saw a guy like that as his number one rival in love. Feng Ji Chuan didnât deserve it at all.
Nian Xi was such a wonderful girl, but Feng Ji Chuan was too stupid to cherish her.
âHe didnât cheat on me.â Nian Xi explained awkwardly. âThey were just a little too close. I couldnât stand the fact that some other woman was more important to him than I was. I wish the person I love to love me back, and I want him to love me solely.â
âI will,â said Jiang Yuning determinedly and seriously.
âIf you canât do that... Iâll break up with you too.â Nian Xi shrugged. âAre you still unhappy?â
âA little. But I also feel lucky.â Jiang Yuning gave an innocent smile. âYou almost became someone elseâs wife.â
âWell, thatâs true...â Before Nian Xi could finish, Jiang Yuning suddenly reached out and held her.
âXi, I like you. I really do.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Nian Xi wasnât prepared for that. She gave a start, feeling how much he cared for her.
âLetâs go. Iâm going to the market to buy pork. Iâm going to make dumplings for you.â Jiang Yuning let go of her and grinned. âIâll provide you with as much food as you want. I wonât be like Feng Ji Chuan.â
Feeling his passion, Nian Xi didnât even have the heart to tell him that she didnât like dumplings that much. She had dumplings for lunch because she was too lazy to make anything else.
She had no plan to ruin his passion though.
...
Next, the two of them drove to the supermarket.
Nian Xi had no interest in grocery shopping. She picked some fruit, then went to the shelf of instant noodles.
Nian Xi picked two large packs of instant noodles, each large pack contained five small packs. Seeing that, Jiang Yuning furrowed his delicate brows.
He put the instant noodles back on the shelf.
âWhat are you doing?â Nian Xi complained.
âThatâs junk food. You shouldnât eat so many instant noodles.â Jiang Yuning was acting like it was the first day he met her. âDo you always eat these?â
Nian Xi felt embarrassed to admit that she was too lazy to cook. That might shock him.
âNo,â she said. âSometimes I work very late. I only eat instant noodles when Iâm too tired to cook or order take-out. I know itâs junk food, so I never use the seasoning provided with the noodles. I only use my own...â
âInstant noodles are fried. Theyâll make you unhealthy if you have too much of them.â Jiang Yuning shook his head stubbornly.
âWhat else can I eat when Iâm hungry?â Nian Xi curved her lips downward. âYou donât live with me. Iâd starve to death waiting for you to come to my apartment to cook for me. Will you order take-out for me?â
Jiang Yuning felt troubled. âIâm working on a project with Professor Han. I can be busy sometimes too. How about this. One of my friends invented a robot chef. Iâll ask her to give you one.â
That was amazing. Nian Xi was stunned.
Having a boyfriend who was a scientist made her feel like being with an almighty god some times.
âDo-does that kind of robot really exist?â
Ever since she got together with Jiang Yuning, she often found herself ignorant. He renewed the way she saw the world over and over again.
âDoes the robot do a good job? My floor mopping robot did a very lousy job. Iâm not using that anymore. I didnât feel good about it.â
