He Xin clenched her teeth. Her cheeks burned when she heard what Nian Xi said.
âI hope you know whatâs the right thing to do. I, Nian Xi, am not a weak girl whom you think you can fool.â Nian Xi finished talking, put the handcuffs back into the pocket of her trousers, turned and left, without looking back.
She believed that He Xin wouldnât have the courage to come up with another dirty trick to try to win Jiang Yuning.
He Xin stood there, frozen. A short while later, Uncle Han showed up behind her and said, âMiss He, let it go. Come on, letâs go home.â
âUncle Han...â He Xin raised her head and looked at Uncle Han with red eyes. âYou know?â
âMr. Jiang is a simple-minded boy. Unlike him, I clearly know about your feelings for him.â Uncle Han said, âMr. Jiang doesnât have the same feelings for you. Nothing would change even if you managed to make Miss Nian leave him. Besides, Miss Nian is a tough cookie. You donât want to hurt yourself in the end.â
He Xin sighed with a big smile.
Perhaps, she was wrong. When facing a girl like Nian Xi, she honestly had no chance to win.
Nian Xi arrived at the police station. Cheng Jing looked at her from head to toe, then whispered to her, âYou didnât go home last night. You didnât even change your clothes. Did you stay in Professor Jiangâs place for the night?â
Nian Xi wasnât really into fashion, but normally she changed her clothes every day. After she got together with Jiang Yuning, she even put on light makeup some times.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âNo, I was at my brotherâs place last night.â Nian Xi turned to drink some water, feeling slightly awkward.
âOh,â said Cheng Jing with disappointment. âI thought you slept with Professor Jiang already.â
Nian Xi coughed, swallowed the water in her mouth with an effort, then glared at her and said with a serious face, âYou married women are nasty.â
âItâs nothing. Weâre all adults. You guys will have sex sooner or later, right? Besides, you donât seem like an inexperienced person at all.â Cheng Jing laughed.
Nian Xi didnât know what to say. It seemed that people had some big misunderstandings about her.
âIâve been so busy. How can I possibly be so experienced about that kind of thing?â Nian Xi sighed. She was going to consult Cheng Jing about why the penetration failed last night, but now, she couldnât ask her.
Cheng Jing tittered. âProfessor Jiang seems innocent though. I guess youâll be the one initiating the whole thing when that day comes.â
Nian Xi dropped her head, quietly drinking the water. Her mouth corners twitched.
In the afternoon, she received a call from Jiang Yuning. âBaby Xi, are you free tonight? I think I need to apologize to your brother in person.â
âAre you sure?â Nian Xi furrowed her brows. âMy brother has been pretty upset. He might be really mean to you.â
âHeâd hate me even more if I donât apologize to him,â said Jiang Yuning with a low voice. âI got my driverâs license this morning.â
âAll right.â
Nian Xi wasnât surprised about how soon he had gotten his driverâs license.
After ending the call, Nian Xi called Nian Junting. âYuning wants to apologize to you tonight. Donât be too harsh to him. After all, he didnât mean it to happen.â
âHehe, he didnât mean it, so I have to forgive him? Not even the law says that.â Nian Junting laughed coldly. âMy chest has been aching the last few days. Whoâs gonna be responsible for my body?â
âWhat do you want?â Nian Xi was suffering from a headache. âAfter all, heâs my boyfriend. Do you want us to break up? Do you want me to be single forever?â
âIs he so good?â Nian Junting complained. âHe gave you a crappy robot as a gift.â
âHe didnât make that robot. He was a victim too,â said Nian Xi. âHis own work is rather reliable. Isnât Appleâs watch the best proof? Besides, if he didnât have that capability, would he be invited to an international conference of physics? How many people in our country can be invited to a grand conference like that?â
