Hearing Nian Xiâs firm tone made Jiang Yuningâs heart pound.
Earlier, she almost drove him crazy by kissing and touching him on the couch. Tonight, they would be sleeping in the same room. He couldnât imagine what Nian Xi had in mind.
Because of the robot, he had already upset Nian Junting. If, in addition to that, he was about to break the promise he made to him, Nian Junting would eat him alive.
He had no idea why Nian Xi suddenly decided to spend the night with him in his room. The girlâs thoughts were hard to fathom.
âOkay. Iâll sleep on the floor, you on the bed, as we did in France,â Jiang Yuning murmured.
Nian Xi turned, glanced at him, and smiled silently.
Sleep on the floor? In your dreams, she thought.
A serious car theft had recently taken place in Xia City. Nian Xi and Fang Qi were working on the case, and the two of them met in the food market.
Fang Qi was surprised to see Jiang Yuning in Nian Xiâs car.
âWhy did you bring him? Doesnât Professor Jiang need to do his science project?â
âToday is special.â Nian Xi told Jiang Yuning to get out of the car.
âI can help you with the case,â Jiang Yuning hurriedly said.
Fang Qi smiled. âProfessor Jiang, Iâm afraid you canât help us with this case. Recently, some people have been involved in a car theft ring. They have been driving the stolen cars to the outskirts of the suburbs, dismantling them, and taking away the valuable parts. Itâs generated an industry chain for stealing and selling car parts. The amount of money involved in the case canât be small.â
Jiang Yuning was stunned to hear about the case. Quite a while later, he finally let out a few words, âThere are so many bad guys.â
Nian Xi glanced at him. You didnât know?â She thought to herself, that friend of yours is probably one of the bad guys. Sheâs just pretending to be innocent.
...
The three of them went home after dinner.
On the way back to Jiang Yuningâs apartment, Nian Xi bought herself some clothes to change into.
Uncle Han was already home. Earlier, Jiang Yuning had texted him about what was happening. Seeing Nian Xi and Jiang Yuning come back, Uncle Han gave them a mysterious smile, then said, âMs. Nian, I have prepared a towel and pajamas for you. Theyâre all in Mr. Jiangâs room already.â
âThank you.â Uncle Hanâs thoughtfulness made Nian Xi feel satisfied. âWhereâs Ms.He?â she asked.
âStill in the lab,â said Uncle Han.
âSheâs so professional,â Nian Xi nodded. Then she held Jiang Yuningâs hand and said, âLetâs go back to our room.â
Watching Mr. Jiang let himself be dragged away by Nian Xi without resisting made Uncle Han click his tongue. Ms. He has no chance to win at all, he thought.
Who in the world could be more possessive and more passionate to control of the situation than Ms. Nian?
On the way to the bedroom, Nian Xi and Jiang Yuning bumped into He Xin as she was coming out of the lab. Seeing the two, He Xin had a confused look in her eyes.
âYou guys came home. Yuning, can you do me a favor? There are a few chips that I donât know where you dismantled them from.â
âNo way,â Nian Xi smiled. âMs. He, you created that robot. Donât you know where those chips belong?â
âBecause all the chips look similar. The robot was water damaged, some information in the chips is gone...â He Xin forced a smile. â
âGo,â Nian Xi nodded at Jiang Yuning. Then she put her mouth near his ear and whispered, âCome back to me as soon as you can. I bought new underwear. You need to wash them for me.â
Jiang Yuningâs cheeks immediately reddened.
Seriously? Nian Xi wanted him to wash her underwear?
He nervously gasped for air. Deep down, he was slightly happy and excited.
âEm,â he said.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
He followed He Xin back to the lab and picked up the chips but was distracted the whole time.
âYuning, Ms. Nian is your girlfriend, but you and I grew up together. You canât forget about your friend just because you have a girlfriend now,â He Xin said with a bitter smile.
