âYeah, and you wouldnât tell me.â Nian Xi sneered. âI was going to call you and complain.â
âComplain about what? He didnât die.â
Nian Xi was so angry. âHeâs like a brother to you. How can you say that about him?â
âBecause heâs like a brother to me, I know that he wonât die so easily. Take good care of yourself and prepare your request for leave. When Ji Chuan comes back, youâll be looking after him in the hospital,â said Nian Junting. âWhereâs Luo?â
âI drove her back.â Nian Xi snorted. âShe knows who your ex-girlfriend is.â
âYou told her?â Nian Juntingâs voice turned deep.
Before Nian Xi could respond, Nian Junting unleashed his rebuke. âI didnât tell you about what happened to Ji Chuan, and now youâre already getting your revenge on me, right?â
Nian Xi was too angry to talk. Her brother actually thought of her as such an awful person.
âDonât try to fool me. How could she possibly just guess it? Sheâs not a fiction writer. You must have told her something.â Nian Junting sounded anxious and annoyed.
Nian Xi was speechless. Her brotherâs future wife was very sensitive, and that had nothing to do with her. âWhat I said is the truth. Believe me or donât. Women can be like that when theyâre sensitive.â
âYeah?â Nian Junting stayed silent for a short while and then said, âI think she cares too much about me. What should I do? Sheâs very jealous. She will overthink things and be angry.â
Nian Xi couldnât help but tell her brother, âI donât think so. She looked calm to me.â Sheâs very jealous? I doubt it, thought Nian Xi. Maybe you are.
âHavenât you heard that some people are very good at hiding their feelings? I think Luo is one of them.â Nian Junting rested his head on his palm and continued, âWhat should I do? Sheâs such a jealous woman.â
The corner of Nian Xiâs mouth twitched slightly. She was going to be mad at her brother, but now, she felt that her heart was tired. âIâm done talking to you. Bye,â she said, then ended the call.
After that, Nian Junting couldnât stop feeling vexed.

At Tianhu Villa at dusk, Luo Sang was helping Sister Lan in the kitchen. She wasnât in a good mood, probably because she had received quite a bit of information today.
Sister Lanâs voice came from behind her. âSangsang, didnât I ask you to peel the ginger? Why are you peeling garlic?â
Luo Sang focused her eyes and found that the thing in her hands that was supposed to be a piece of ginger had now turned into garlic. âSorry, I was thinking,â she said.
Sister Lan asked while cutting vegetables, âWhat were you thinking about that entranced you so much?â
Luo Sang remained silent for a while, then responded, âSister Lan, do you know Leng Shuangwei?â
Sister Lan was slightly puzzled and replied, âNo, whoâs that?â
âNo one.â Luo Sang shook her head. It seemed that Leng Shuangwei was someone from a long time ago, or Sister Lan would have known her.
At half-past six, before Luo Sang had finished eating dinner, Nian Junting came back.
âDidnât you say that you needed to attend some social engagement tonight? Why are you back so early?â Luo Sang asked while eating.
âUm, I came back early.â Nian Junting carefully observed the look on her face, then his heart sank a little. She hadnât even looked at him. He believed that she was so jealous right now but was still trying to act calm.
âWhat did you get with my mother and sister today?â
âTwo lipsticks, a dress, a necklace, and a bracelet.â
âThatâs all?â Nian Junting asked.
âI donât need much.â Luo Sang raised her head and said, âBesides... Didnât Nian Xi call you?â
Nian Juntingâs heart missed a beat. Iâm dead. What is she implying? Is she going to question me?
