His words finally cheered Nian Xi up a little bit.
If he chose to stand on the side of that friend of his and speak for her without hesitation, like what Feng Ji Chuan did, Nian Xi believed she needed to reconsider her relationship with him.
She was his girlfriend. Why on earth would he always help someone else?
Thinking about that, she suddenly started to admire her brother, of all people.
Indeed, Nian Junting seemed like a perfect husband.
âI know Iâve been mean to your friend,â Nian Xi said. âIâm not nice to her. Iâm petty. But thatâs because I feel that sheâs fond of you. It might also have something to do with the fact that I was hurt once. I want to be the only one in my boyfriendâs heart. Iâm not saying you canât have female friends. Itâs just that you have to mind your behavior. You can talk about work but in private. Donât be so close to her. Donât eat the food that she put in your bowl. Also, I want you always to be on my side. You see, you call me Xi and her Xinxin. Itâs as if youâre as close to her as you are to me. You have to think about it carefully. Is your girlfriend or your friend more important? If you think Iâve been bossy and possessive, yes, youâre right. I am bossy and possessive.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âIâm sorry. I get it,â Jiang Yuning nodded. âI wonât call her that again. Xi, please donât be mad at me.â
He held her hand and said in a soft voice, âIâve been worried since last night. Iâm worried you might leave me or hate me. Itâs the first time something like this has happened to me. I donât know what to do.â
âI was angry last night, but I wonât leave you over a robot. Thatâs not some problem that touches my bottom line.â Nian Xi pouted slightly before continuing in a low voice, âI wonât break up with you unless we have huge disagreements, or you are in an inappropriately close relationship with another woman, or you choose another woman over me.â
After spending a short while in a daze, Jiang Yuning understood her meaning: So, as long as I avoid what Nian Xi listed, she wonât leave me.
âXi, donât worry. I will certainly keep a distance from He Xin from now on. I think you were right. Iâll tell her to take the robot home,â Jiang Yuning said. Then he prepared to leave the room. But before he left, Nian Xi held his hand.
âXi and...â Before he could finish, Nian Xi grasped his collar, dragged his head downward, and pressed her soft lips against his.
His legs went limp. As he prepared to hold her, a sudden sting came from his lips, making him moan.
Nian Xi let go of him and turned up her mouth corners in a smile of satisfaction.
Jiang Yuning touched his lips and found blood on his fingers. He could still sense the burning pain from his lips.
âXi, you bit me?â
âYes, I bit you. Nian Xi adjusted his collar and said. âYou can leave now.â
...
In the lab, He Xin was stunned when she saw the fresh wound on Jiang Yuningâs thin, red lips.
The wound wasnât there when he left the lab. It was a bite wound.
She glanced at Nian Xi, who was wearing a wicked smile, and felt as if someone had cut her heart with a knife, giving her the pain and bleeding.
Recalling what Nian Xi did to him just now, Jiang Yuning felt a little shy.
âXin... He Xin,â he said to He Xin with flushed cheeks.
âYuning, why did you suddenly call my full name?â He Xin looked at Nian Xi. âDid Ms. Nian ask you to do this?â
âMs. Nian, you donât need to see me as an enemy,â she said to Nian Xi. âCanât Yuning even have friends?â
