Did she hear herself correctly? Was this still her mean and petty husband?
He had been seeing Jiang Yuning as a thorn in his flesh for a long time, but he was now defending him instead.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Nian Xi was speechless for a while as well. Her tears rolled back, and she was not sniffling anymore.
On the contrary, Jiang Yuning looked like his savior had just arrived, and he walked over quickly. He said pitifully, âBrother, what should I do? She wonât listen to me!â
Nian Xi was stunned. From the way he was talking to Nian Junting, it seemed as though they were biologically related to each other. What was going on?
âIâll talk to her.â Nian Junting patted his shoulder and walked over to the couch. Frowning, he asked, âNian Xi, canât you be a little more mature and thoughtful?â
âWhy am I the immature one here?â Nian Xi glared at him angrily. âImagine if Sangsang leaves you for three years, and you canât even text or call her. No matter how strong I am, Iâm not secure enough to go on like this. Three years is a long time, and things and people will change. Either you let me go with him and protect him, or... we can just break up now...â
She was choking up as she finished her sentence. She felt a pang in her chest as if someone was ripping her heart out.
Ever since she broke up with Feng Ji Chuan, she had lost the courage to wait for someone, despite knowing that Jiang Yuning did not mean for any of this to happen.
âI donât... I donât want to break up!â Jiang Yuningâs face was pale with terror.
âDonât worry, I wonât let you guys break up,â Nian Junting comforted him gently. He turned to Nian Xi and said sternly, âYou were the one who insisted on getting together with him at the beginning. You canât call for a break up now; Yuning is a great guy. He has a gentle disposition, heâs good to you, heâs handsome, and heâs also a talented scientist. Yuning is a blessing given to you.â
Nian Xiâs eyes nearly popped out of her sockets.
He had come over to fetch Jiang Yuning. He was a completely changed person now.
Look at what he was saying! These were the things that her grandma used to say when she tried to convince Nian Junting to support her relationship with Jiang Yuning.
âAre you really my brother?â Nian Xi was upset. âWhat did he say to you? Did he brainwash you? I admit that heâs very outstanding in many areas, but I need a companion. Iâm not certain that he wonât betray me in the three years weâre apart, and Iâm also not certain that heâll still love me. Well, I guess we can put things on hold for now. Weâll see what happens when he comes back three years later.â
Jiang Yuning looked down at the floor like a sad puppy.
âYou canât say that!â Nian Junting was in a dilemma, and he looked perplexed. Finally, he spoke softly, âI didnât want to tell you at the beginning because I was scared that I would just worry you unnecessarily, but I have to be frank with you. Once he leaves, heâs not just going to hide, heâs going undercover in TOX. His mission is to figure out the location of the headquarters of the organization, so the police can take down the entire organization in its whole.â
Nian Xi inhaled sharply. Luosang did the same too, and they were both shocked to discover this information. âThis... this doesnât sound too safe,â Nian Xi murmured. âHeâs so introverted! Itâll be too dangerous, and heâll be playing with fire.â
âHeâs doing all of these so that he can be with you forever!â Nian Junting was frowning deeply now. âHe told me that he wants you to think of him as a hero. Youâre right, heâs timid and introverted, but heâs also courageous because of his love for you. I admire him for doing this as well. Nian Xi, how can someone like him change his mind about you after three years?â
Nian Xi was shaken. Nian Juntingâs words resonated with her deeply.
In her mind, Jiang Yuning had always been a rose in a greenhouse that she fought hard to protect.
Right now, the fragile flower was saying that he was willing to take on the risks of this dangerous mission to be with her forever. She was terrified and horrified by this thought.
âIâm not agreeing to this!â She was vigorously shaking her head, her body trembling.
