âDidnât she have fun playing with other dogs last time when we took her out for a walk?â Jiang Yuning said with confusion.
Nian Xi nodded and laughed. âSheâs a playgirl. Thatâs why she kissed you last time. I wonder if Xiaosi will be jealous.â
âBaby Xi...â Jiang Yuning felt embarrassed, so he gave her a soft glare.
Luosang clicked her tongue silently. He was calling her âbabyâ already. Their relationship seemed to have gone to a new level.
âWhereâs my brother?â Nian Xi asked.
âIn the babyâs room, playing with Apple.â Luosang shrugged helplessly.
Nian Xi understood that her brother was still upset.
As Nian Xi and Jiang Yuning went into the house, Nian Junting still didnât come out of the babyâs room. With no other choice, Nian Xi took Jiang Yuning to the babyâs room to see her brother.
Apple was lying on the mattress. The little boy struggled hard but still couldnât turn over by himself. Nian Junting poked his little butt and said, âYouâre not Little Apple. Youâre Little Dumbo. Youâre so big already, but you still canât crawl. Why didnât you inherit any of my wisdom?â
Luosang glared at him and said, âHeâs barely six-months-old. It would be amazing if he can roll over by himself. How can you make him crawl now? I donât think you were able to crawl when you were a six-month-old baby.â
âI was certainly able to crawl when I was six-months-old.â Nian Junting argued with her saying, âMy Grandma said that since I was a little baby, Iâve been smarter and stronger than ninety-nine percent of my peers.â
âI donât believe your Grandma said that.â Luosang gave a cold smile.
Nian Xi snorted coldly and said, âIâm sure my Grandma didnât say that.â
Nian Juntingâs cold eyes landed on Nian Xi. âAll you can do is be mean to your big brother. If I didnât put down your robot that day, you might be lying in the hospital by now. Your apartment might have been gone.â
âBrother, Iâm sorry.â Jiang Yuning hurriedly made a step forward and apologized sincerely. âThis is a small gift as my apology.â
âItâs not another high-tech piece of yours, is it? I wonât accept it,â said Nian Junting coldly.
âItâs not...â It was the first time Jiang Yuning experience something like this. After all, he had never offered anyone a gift before. He turned to Nian Xi, looking for help.
Nian Xi took over the box, thrust it into Nian Juntingâs arms and said, âHe didnât invent this. Take a look at it and then decide if you want it or not. Iâll bring it home with me if you donât want it.â
Nian Junting knitted his brows, opened the box and glanced into it. He stared at what was in the box for more than ten seconds.
âWhat is it?â Luosang moved to him, curious to see what was inside the box.
Nian Junting immediately shut the box, proudly raised his chin and said, âIt is an ordinary gift indeed, but I feel your sincerity. Besides, my little sister really likes you. So, I think Iâm gonna take it.â
Nian Xi stayed silent.
Heâs as shameless as ever, she thought.
âThank you, brother.â Jiang Yuning was happy. âDonât worry. About what happened earlier, I wonât let it happen again.â
Nian Junting nodded, scooped Apple up, stood up and said to him seriously, âSometimes we canât rely too much on machines. After all, machines are cold and lifeless. They canât give your girl the care that she needs. What sheâll like more is you cooking for her with your own hands. It doesnât matter if your food tastes good or not, thatâs a way to express your love.â
âEmm.â Jiang Yuning nodded.
âIf that kind of thing ever happened again, I would never let my sister be with you.â Nian Junting continued blandly saying, âBut this time, I forgive you. Letâs get out for dinner.â
...
At the dining table, Jiang Yuning said to Nian Xi, âYour brother is so magnanimous. I caused him to get injured, but he forgave me after accepting only a small gift from me. Xi, you always complained about your brother, but I think youâre wrong.â
