âSo you turned your back on her and went with Qiao Xue?â Nian Junting asked.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âI didnât. I just felt that that girl is quite innocent and adorable. I guess I... am a little fond of her,â Lu Kang stuttered.
âYou grow fond of people too easily.â Nian Junting gave a cold smile, then walked into his office.
Hearing what Nian Juntng said, Lu Kangâs face burned. Normal guys would all do the same. To him, Yan Su was like a flower growing on a high mountain that he could not pick, but a man had to be with someone and get married. Who was like his boss? His love was outstanding and shocking.
Hearing that Nian Junting was back, Xiao Si came upstairs with a file in five minutes. These days, Nian Junting hadnât come to work, so he was responsible for all sorts of things in the company. He really regretted coming back now. If he had known things would be like this, heâd rather have stayed in the Northwest.
Nian Junting uncapped the pen, sighed his name, then threw the contract back to Xiao Si and stood up.
âAre you going back to Luosangâs?â Xiao Si hurriedly stopped him and said seriously, âItâs raining out there. You shouldnât mistreat yourself like this, even if you want to play the battered-body trick. Youâre an adult. If you want to numb yourself, stay in the company and distract yourself with work.â
Hearing his words, Nian Junting glanced at him and said, âItâs not about me distracting myself with work. Itâs actually because you want to stay here and work overtime. Am I right?â He had been close friends with Xiao Si for many years, so he knew him well enough. Xiao Si never liked working and was all about having fun.
Xiao Si winced slightly, saying, âAm I such a man? Iâm worried about you.â Of course, most importantly, he couldnât handle the high-intensity work.
Nian Junting stayed silent for a moment, then responded, âIâm not going there to play the battered-body trick. Itâs because when I go back to the villa, Iâll see traces of her everywhere. That makes me very uncomfortable. Itâs better for me to stay at her place downstairs. Even though I canât see her, at least Iâll know that sheâs really close to me.â
Listening to him, Xiao Si had a sour feeling. He had never loved someone so deeply, so he didnât understand. âHow about the two of us ask for leave? Letâs go abroad and take a vacation. When youâre far away from her, youâll realize that itâs not a big deal.â Xiao Si comforted him.
Nian Junting shook his head without hesitation. Looking at Xiao Si with dislike, he said, âI went on vacation with Luosang not long ago. Traveling with you would only constantly remind me of the days with her. Iâd be even more frustrated.â
Xiao Si didnât know what to say. He really should not worry about Nian Junting.

Nian Family House
It was the weekend. On his phone, Nian Qingyun watched the news about Nian Junting on the hot-search list, then said angrily, âThis kid brought shame on our family. Heâs not a teenager anymore. He actually went to her school to read her a love poem in public.â
Nian Qingshan laughed. âIt seems that Junting really cares about her. Big Brother, I never thought that youâd have such a single-hearted son, hah.â
âWhat do you mean?â Nian Qingyun glanced at him coldly. He had been in a really bad mood recently. It sounded like his brother was making fun of him for being unfaithful in love.
âEh... nothing. I have an appointment with a friend. Weâll play basketball. Iâm leaving now,â Nian Qingshan said and hurriedly left.
Five minutes after he left, Xie came in and said, âDirector, about the case you told me to look into earlier, I found something.â
Nian Qingyun was puzzled at first but soon realized what he was talking about.
âThree days after Xue handed me those files, the apartment of Zeng Lijuanâs boyfriend was swept by a thief. Her boyfriend was also robbed in the middle of the night on his way home. The robber took the recording,â said Xie.
Nian Qingyun immediately frowned. If Nian Junting took the recording, he would certainly have made some progress in the case.
