âAre you angry?â
Nian Xi quickly hid the smile on her face and went forward to hug him.
Jiang Yuning took a step back and directly dodged. His handsome face was gloomy. âYou wonât tell me anything anyway. Do you mind if I get angry?â
If it was in the past, Jiang Yuning might have gotten used to Nian Xi standing in front to protect her, but it was different now. He was better than before. After all, three years of undercover work was not in vain.
âI was just afraid that you wouldnât agree,â Nian Xi smiled bitterly.
Lei Yichen had just explained all this to Jiang Yuning in the car. He understood it, but it didnât mean that he didnât mind at all.
âXixi, you lied to me.â Jiang Yuning felt very hurt, and it was terrible, âYou said that you wanted to spend some time alone with me by the sea. You said that you havenât been so happy in a long time. You donât know how happy Iâve been these two days, but all of this was a lie that you made up for me.â
âWow, no wonder youâre so angry.â Lei Yichen, who had just passed by, could not help but look sideways with a smile. âNian Xi, youâre wrong to say that. The mission is the mission. How can you lie to Professor Jiang like that?â
Nian Xi rolled her eyes at him. âWhy havenât you left yet?â
âHe doesnât have to leave. Iâll leave.â Jiang Yuning turned around and walked along the road in a huff.
It was already dark, and the streets were sparsely populated. Nian Xi quickly chased after him. âYuning, come back with me. My wound is starting to hurt again.â
She coquettishly wrapped her arms around him.
âYou still know how to feel pain?â Jiang Yuning became even angrier. âYou havenât even recovered from your injury, yet you still want to catch a criminal. Nian Xi, youâre not a transformer.â
âI promise I wonât do it again,â Nian Xi swore.
âYou always lie to me.â Jiang Yuning didnât believe it at all. âDo you know the story of the cry wolf?â
Nian Xi felt a headache, she frowned and said solemnly, âYuning, I understand that youâre angry, but Iâm not lying to you about what I said at the seaside hotel. Iâm really happy to be able to spend time with you. I even want to accompany you after this mission. We can go to Tibet or Yunnan to travel around. All these years, my brother has often gone on a trip with Sangsang. Actually, Iâm quite envious. I also want to have someone to accompany me.â
The anger on Jiang Yuningâs face slowly faded away, replaced by sadness and guilt.
It was his fault. As her boyfriend, he had made her worried. If she had not met him, perhaps her boyfriend would have been a business elite, a doctor, or a lawyer, and she would not have had to work so hard.
Nian Xi sighed and continued, âIf we donât lure Manda out today, she will be a ticking time bomb at any time. When you were young, Mandaâs father founded the TOX organization, and was later arrested by the police.
âBut in less than ten years, he has made a comeback. For a person like Manda who grew up in a criminal organization, it will be very difficult for her to return to the right path. Moreover, she will definitely avenge for the organization and her father. I donât want the incident that happened three years ago to happen again, âSo, I must destroy the root of the problem. Moreover, if we donât capture her, what is the use of your three years of undercover? What are we doing after being separated for so many years?â
Jiang Yuning was shocked.
Actually, he knew what Nian Xi had said.
However, from what Nian Xi said, it seemed like he was being too petty.
âXixi, I admit that youâre right, but I donât see it as far as you do because I only have eyes for you. Iâm here as a spy because of you. If youâre not around one day, then whatâs the point of doing all this?â
