âYeah, well, where are they? I just called them, and they said they were on the way.â Nian Junting took out his phone with a frown. As he was looking for Murong Chengâs number, Luosang patted him gently on the shoulder and said, âNo need to call them again. Theyâre here.â
Nian Junting turned around and pulled a long face.
Murong Cheng was holding a handbag and wearing a fur coat, looking quite fashionable. Near her, was Jiang Yuning, wearing a grey coat, pushing a suitcase. Nian Xi was sitting on top of it very happily.
âHow sweet,â Luosang sighed.
Nian Junting unhappily glanced at her, then walked up to his mother and sister, stared at Jiang Yuning coldly, and said to Nian Xi, âYou didnât tell me heâs coming with us. Iâm sorry, I didnât buy his ticket.â
âNo worries, I already took care of that,â Nian Xi said with a grin. âEarlier, he said he couldnât come because he had to finish a project. Now the project has been finished, so heâs here. Weâve havenât traveled together yet.â
Nian Junting turned down his mouth corners and said, âThis is a family vacation. Do you understand?â
âBrother,â Jiang Yuning called him. His gorgeous face wore an innocent look.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Nian Juntingâs mouth was set in a straight line.
âHeâs calling you brother. Weâre family.â Luosang walked over and held her husbandâs arm.
Nian Junting turned to her, looking confused. Oh, really? As a man who was running a public company, he felt that his brain wasnât working well enough at that moment.
âSister...â Jiang Yuning scratched his head with a shy smile.
Luosang looked at him sympathetically and felt as if her heart was melting.
Nian Junting dragged Luosang to the side and said, âWhat are you two doing? Weâre going to Hangzhou for a few days. Why did you bring so much luggage?â
âMomâs stuffâs in there too,â said Nian Xi blandly. âBesides, I can sit on this large suitcase. Havenât many famous couples been doing that in airports?â
Before, she was so jealous of those couples. She had a boyfriend at that time but never had a chance to travel together with him. Every time she went on a trip with her friends, she had to carry her luggage. Now, she finally had someone to travel with. She intended to let him carry the luggage.
Nian Junting gave her a look. âWeâre taking a trip, not to show off your happy relationship,â he said.
âLike youâre not showing off your happy marriage?â Nian Xi looked at the Uggs he was wearing and said sourly, âMy sister-in-law bought you so many pairs of Uggs before you guys got married. Now you finally have a chance to wear them again. Weâre still in Xia City. Arenât they hot? Youâre the only CEO I know whoâd wear Uggs in public.â
Glaring at her, Nian Junting said, âThis is the kindness from your sister-in-law. Theyâve been lying in my closet for so long. This time, weâre finally going somewhere cold. Of course Iâll wear them.â
âShouldnât we be boarding the plane by now... Whereâs Liuxi?â Luosang reminded the others.
âHe went to check the luggage while you guys were arguing,â Xu Zhengxuan said.
âWhy is that boy so impatient?â Mo Jin sighed with a small smile.
...
On the plane, Jiang Yuning sat far away from the others, because his tickets were bought at the last minute.
Right after the plane took off, Luosang got upset. âWhat should I do. I miss Apple. Weâre both away from him now. I wonder if heâll cry at night. We should have brought him with us.â
âHeâll be fine,â Nian Junting held her hand and said. âA boy needs to learn to be independent. He canât always rely on his parents. One day, heâll know that we did this for his good.â
âReally?â Luosang gave him a sidelong glance of disbelief.
