âBut I donât want to talk to them,âJ iang Yuningâs tone was bitter. âOther than scientific research, our family rarely talks about anything else.â
Nian Xi was speechless. What kind of family was this. âThat wonât happen. I heard from Uncle Han that in the three years youâve been away, your parents havenât been doing much scientific research. The projects in their hands have basically all stopped. They regret not fulfilling their responsibilities as parents. Your family rarely talk about your personal lives. Maybe your parents are like you and donât really care about people, but youâre their biological child, so they must care about you a lot.â
Jiang Yuning lowered his eyes. He knew this since he knew how he missed his parents during the years he was away. He also felt sorry for them, but he really didnât know how to talk to them.
âXixi, you should come back with me.â Jiang Yuning held her hand tightly, âNot only did I go back, but also I brought a wife back. They would definitely be very happy. Not only are our bodies extremely fused, but our souls are also fused. We really donât need to care too much about this.â
Nian Xiâs emotion was like a roller coater.
What do you mean by âsouls are fusedâ? Is it suitable for a scientist to say things like that?
Moreover, there are people around. Is it appropriate for you to say these words?
She felt the gazes of Lei Yichen and the others on the side sweeping over, and her face burned.
Lei Yichen said with a face full of admiration, âProfessor Jiang is indeed knowledgeable. He speaks in a certain way. I believe that it wonât be long before weâll be able to attend your childâs birthday party.â
âGet lost.â Nian Xi kicked him in anger.
Jiang Yuning didnât hear her teasing and nodded with a smile. âOkay, Iâll work hard.â
Everyone laughed.
Nian Xi was so embarrassed that she stepped on Jiang Yuning a few times. If you donât speak, no one will treat you as mute.
Jiang Yuning looked innocent after being stepped on.
In the end, Nian Xi couldnât resist Jiang Yuningâs persuasion and followed him back to the Jiang family.
In the car, Nian Xi took out her makeup bag and started to put one her makeup.
It was not that she was not beautiful, but she had been on the sea for the past two days and had not rested well at all. She looked rather haggard. It was her first time meeting her parents-in-law, so her image could not be too bad.
Jiang Yuning sat silently by the side and watched her put on her makeup. After she put away her makeup bag, he smiled and said, âXixi, youâre so beautiful, just like a fairy.â
Nian Xi immediately noticed that the police officer in front of her burst into laughter.
âShut up.â Nian Xi rolled her eyes at Jiang Yuning.
Even if he wanted to praise someone, he could be more careful in choosing his words.
Jiang Yuning silently shut his mouth and looked aggrieved. He did not know what he had done wrong. He was clearly praising her, but he was still scolded.
...
The Jiang family was located in the Western District of Beijing. About fifty minutes later, the car stopped on a small road that was filled with Qing dynasty-style buildings.
Nian Xi looked to the side and saw that the car was parked in front of a rather large courtyard house. She was secretly surprised. Although she knew that Jiang Yuningâs family was quite well-educated, she didnât expect that they would have such a courtyard house in Beijing, where every inch of land was worth a fortune. Such a courtyard house was usually sold at a sky-high price, and no one would sell it.
She sighed. âYuning, it looks like you guys have some family background back in the Qing dynasty.â
Jiang Yuning nodded. âI heard from my grandfather that my ancestor was an assistant minister in the imperial court when he was in Qianlong emperor âs reign. However, his family slowly declined later. Now, there are only a few people left, and we are the only lineage.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
