âPah!â Nian Xi spit out the milk in her mouth. Good God, her brother was too straightforward.
Luo Sang silently lowered her head, hid her eyes under her bangs, and pretended not to have heard it.
âBut I really want to go with you. I havenât had a vacation abroad for a long time.â Nian Xi sighed, âWhy donât we go together after I marry Ji Chuan?â
âCan he travel abroad?â Nian Junting asked.
Nian Xi immediately looked disappointed. He was right, though. It could be really, really difficult for a soldier to go abroad.
âIf you want to travel with Ji Chuan, you can only travel within the country for the rest of your life. Donât even think about impossible things.â Nian Junting suddenly felt extra lucky that he hadnât stayed in the army. He was really looking forward to the journey. The more he thought about it, the more excited he was. He even ate faster. âIâm done. Iâm leaving for the company,â he said.
Luo Sang paused. âSo soon?â
Nian Junting raised his brows and said excitedly, âYeah, I want to finish my work as soon as possible. Hopefully, our vacation will start right after youâre back from An City.â
Luo Sang didnât respond. Winter break was coming. All the students had started packing their bags, preparing to go home for New Yearâs. When Luo Sang and Yan Su had left school the day before winter vacation, Chi Chengxu was there, too. âLuo, come visit my family during winter vacation. My mom says that youâre so ungrateful, you never visited her after leaving with Nian Junting.â
Luo Sang was a little embarrassed. Feng Ge had invited her a few times, but Nian Junting had been keeping her on a tight leash. Even though he needed to work every day, he kept track of her whereabouts 24/7 via phone. âIâve been busy with classes lately. Please tell my godmother that Iâll definitely visit her, but at the beginning of this year, Iâm going on vacation to Australia with Nian Junting.â
âAlright.â Chi Shengxu curved his lips downwards in slight disappointment and then said, âRemember to bring me a gift, then.â
âSure, what kind of gift do you want?â
âI heard that Uggs arenât bad. Bring me a pair.â
âYou got it.â
âAnd, Iâm going to sing a song at the CCTV New Yearâs Gala this year, so donât forget to watch it.â Chi Shengxu winked at Luo Sang, then got in the van that was there to pick him up.
As the van drove away, Yan Su said, âAre you sure that youâll buy another man a pair of Uggs when youâre on a vacation with Mr. Nian? Wonât he lose his temper?â
Yan Suâs question made Luo Sang realize how serious this was. How could she possibly forget about that? âBut... Iâve already promised him. How âbout this, Iâll tell him that itâs for your boyfriend,â said Luo Sang.
âI think heâs unreasonable enough to forbid you from buying any man anything, unless that man is your dad. Am I right?â said Yan Su.
âIs that so bad?â Luo Sang clicked her tongue.
âWhat do you think?â Yan Su threw the question back to her.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Luo Sang didnât know what to say. Having a jealous boyfriend could be troublesome.
âXu Luo Sang, Yan Su...â At that moment, a Maserati stopped before the two of them. The carâs backseat window dropped, exposing Ye Chuenâs sour face. Kang Ying was sitting next to her.
âXu Luo Sang, donât be too proud. I failed to take you down last time because Junting is still interested in you. but Iâm telling you that youâll soon be out of the game.â Ye Chuen sneered.
Luo Sang didnât want to talk to her at all, but Yan Su couldnât bear listening to her. âWhat are you planning now? Stop bothering her like a crazy dog,â said Yan Su.
âI think youâre more like a dog. All you can do is follow behind Xu Luo Sang and bark. Letâs see how long you can bark.â Ye Chuen snorted, then turned to Luo Sang and said, âJuntingâs childhood sweetheart is coming back. Sheâs way better than you. Youâll be crying.â
âSo thatâs what youâre talking about. I knew about her long ago,â Luo Sang responded blandly.
