âAlright, itâs my bad the previous time, will you please let me go?â
Xiao Si felt the urge to tease Nian Junting further, âWhat has this got to do with you having a girlfriend? This is not your bedroom after all.â
âOf course, it is related,â Nian Junting smirked, âIf Luosang decides to come here one day to make out, I canât allow you to barge in like this. She will be extremely embarrassed, my prideful woman.â
Xiao Si was speechless, his brother was being delusional again, living in his own imagination. Xiao Si thought about Nian Juntingâs reaction if he ever found out about Yi Jingxi and Luosangâs relationship, he would probably be hopping mad.
âAre you serious?â
âI am serious about everything under the sun,â Nian Junting proceeded to peel another pomelo and remove its seeds, his hands were burning from all the fruits that he had already peeled. Luosang was right, he did mistreat her previously.
âOh,â Xiao Si looked hesitant, âDid you know if Luosang had an ex-boyfriend?â
âNot sure,â Nian Junting paused before reassuring himself, âJudging by her innocent looks, I must be her first.â
âInnocent... look whoâs the innocent one here,â Xiao Si thought.
He had no heart to tease him further, âWhat if she did?â
âHave an ex-boyfriend?â
Nian Junting raised his head to meet Xiao Siâs gaze, he pictured Luosangâs supple lips kissing another man and shuddered in anger, âIf she did, he better not show up in front of me. Why are you asking about this anyway, what do you know?â
âNothing, what can I know?â Xiao Si stood up guiltily, he wasnât sure how violently Nian Junting would react to this piece of news.
âIf I told him that Luosang had an ex-boyfriend, an ex-fiancé that is, he would probably take all his anger out on me. Thatâll be a terrifying experience,â Xiao Si thought.
âUm... I got an appointment that I forgot about, Iâm going to take my leave. You carry on.â
Xiao Si slipped out of the office quickly.
Nian Junting narrowed his eyes before turning his attention back on the fruits in front of him. He had more free time nowadays, to peel more bowls of fruit for Luosang. When she was done with whatever she was busy with, he would claim all the hours at once, kissing her lips till it swelled.
...
In the next couple of days, Luosang spent most of her time on the short skit. She appointed the talent Zhang Yang as the creative director and he drafted the skeleton of the storyline. The six of them met often to fine tune the details of the plot and they took an entire week to finalize the script.
On Saturday night, Nian Junting delivered supper to her and read the script that she brought along with her. He chuckled coldly, âYouths, even your script is all about love and boy-girl relationships, childish.â
Luosang munched on the loquat cake that he brought and looked up him incredulously, âWhatâs wrong with boy-girl relationships? Are you having a relationship with me right now? You are childish too.â
âI think... you should focus more on family relationships,â Nian Junting pointed at the manuscript, âThe script is filled with hugs and kisses, âbabyâ and âhoneyâ nicknames for each other, it doesnât reflect well on you guys.â
âHey, youâre only 29 years old, ok? Youâre not 49 years old,â Luosang reminded him, âItâs normal for couples to call each other âbabyâ and âhoneyâ.â
âI can call you that and you can call me that as well, but I wonât allow anyone else to call you âbabyâ,â Nian Junting pointed at the script and insisted, âYou are only allowed to act as the male leadâs father in this skit.â
