Nian Junting was instantly annoyed when he heard her questioning tone of voice. âLet me ask you this then. Every woman in the world is trying to hold a tight rein over their husbands. What about you? Wives always call their husbands when they go out late at night. Every time Iâm out, I donât receive a single call from you. Iâm the one calling you all the time, and youâre either shopping or taking a stroll with Little Apple. Itâs almost as if you are liberated without me around.â
Luosang was speechless from how indignant he was.
He was lying to her face, and he was acting like he had the moral high ground. âI can count on one hand the number of times you are out each month. The latest youâve come home was 8:30 p.m. In the process of having a meal, you would text me over ten times, so how can I have a chance to call you? Other wives are keeping a tight rein over their husbands because their husbands are being disobedient.â
âThatâs true. Iâm just too obedient.â Nian Junting nodded his head, and he looked pleased with himself. âLook at me. Everyone would be so envious of you. How could you find any fault in me?â
âWhen did I ever do such a thing?â Luosang sighed.
âJust now! You called me a liar! Arenât you complaining?â
Luosang said nothing.
He was suggesting that she should close an eye whenever he lied in front of her in the future.
Nian Junting continued saying, âIâm just trying to portray myself as someone with a strict wife. I need other women to know that it would be extremely difficult to try to seduce me and difficult to handle my wife at home.â
â...I am... so touched.â Luosang was holding back giggles. She had no idea what she should say, but she knew that Nian Junting was a lot better than Xiao Si, who spent his days playing. âXiao Si needs to change if he wants to have a wife. Heâs nearly thirty now, so he should behave more mature.â
âI agree. I would never marry him if I was Ji Nuanyi.â Nian Junting pursed his lips in thought.
He was speaking as a good brother of Xiao Siâs.
Luosang suddenly felt bad for him.
...
In Beijing, at the hotel, Yan Jin had just showered and came out of the washroom. Yan Su was drying him off and helping to dress him.
âSister, I donât think itâs possible between you and Xixi,â Yan Jin said suddenly.
âXixi...â Yan Su thought that she had heard wrong.
âYeah, his name is too complicated, and it doesnât sound nice either. I have a hard time remembering his name.â Yan Jin sounded frustrated. âIâll call him Xixi from now on.â
Yan Su thought about how angry Xixi would be if he found out about his nickname.
âSo he knows about Yan Yan?â Yan Jin continued saying, âI get the feeling that he doesnât like Yan Yan. If youâre going to marry someone in the future, you have to marry someone who would accept Yan Yan. I will never let our little princess be treated any less.â
Yan Su was shocked. She curled her lips into a smile. âHe will accept her.â
âNo, sister. He doesnât like Yan Yan.â Yan Jin couldnât understand why his sister was being so stubborn.
âIf he doesnât like her now, he will in the future,â Yan Su said with certainty.
Yan Jin looked at her serious expression and frowned deeply. âSister, youâre too intoxicated.â
â...â
Yan Su sighed before saying, âIâm going to tell you a secret, but you have to promise me that this will be between the two of us, the heavens and the earth. You canât tell a single soul what Iâm about to tell you, including our parents.â
âYes, I promise.â Yan Jin quickly made a swearing sign when she said that she was going to tell him a secret.
Yan Su burst into laughter. âHe is Yan Yanâs father. He just doesnât know that Yan Yan is his child yet.â
Yan Jin covered his little mouth in shock; it was a major, earth-shattering secret. He took a long while to digest what she had just said before he replied, âNo wonder I thought that he looked a lot like Yan Yan.â
