He found that his woman was getting meaner and meaner.
âYouâre not dreaming,â he said grumpily.
Luosang was so excited, but soon she panicked.
Since the beginning of her memory, the word âmotherâ was both familiar and strange.
What would happen when she finally met her mother?
Would they naturally become close despite the fact that they had been separated for so many years, like the stories in some TV series?
Would they be like strangers?
Seeing her fall into silence, Nian Junting pulled her over and asked, âWhatâs wrong?â
âJunting, have you met my mother yet?â Luosang asked uneasily. âWhat kind of person is she? How did you find her? Didnât you say that youâll start looking for her after you got my father out of the prison?â
âIn fact, I didnât look for her. She just showed up and I recognized her.â Nian Junting stroked her arm and told her the truth, âShe cares a lot about you. She really loves you. She worried that I might mistreat you, so she got close to me as a stranger to see if Iâm a good person or not. And in fact, youâve met your brother.â
Luosang paused briefly then hurriedly got up from him and asked, âWho is it?â
âGuess,â Nian Junting said. âYou should be able to guess it now. Youâve seen him lately.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Luosang fell into confusion. Whom had she recently met? She stayed at home every single day.
Suddenly, a thought popped up in her mind and some words escaped her lips, âThat boy who saved me in the shopping mall? My new neighbor?â
Nian Junting raised his brows and smiled silently. Seeing that look on his face, Luosang knew that she had guessed right.
With excitement, she slapped Nian Juntingâs chest and said, âI canât believe that I didnât realize it until just now.â
That slap caused Nian Junting real pain. âXu Luosang, Iâm not a table.â
Luosang ignored him, submerged in her own emotions. âNo wonder I felt so familiar with him that day. I felt no repulsion, not even when he carried me. I felt happy and sweet. It turned out that it was because heâs my brother.â
Nian Junting was so angry that even his liver hurt.
Happy and sweet? She never mentioned happy and sweet when he carried her.
âXu Luosang, you didnât say so back then.â He clenched his teeth and said, âYou told me that you only let him hold you because you were dizzy.â
Luosang buried her face in her hands, saying, âMy brother is so handsome. How can he be so handsome? Heâs so, so handsome.â
Nian Junting stayed silent.
With anger, he dragged her over and said, âIs your brother more handsome or am I?â
Luosang waved her hands and said, âYouâre my boyfriend and heâs my brother. Thereâs no point to this comparison.â
âI care, very much.â Nian Juntingâs dark eyes showed strong discontent. âYou never said that about me.â
He was jealous. He remembered that she said she would be really nice to her brother, if she had one. What would he do if that really happened?
âAlright. Youâre handsome too. Youâre the manly type and my brother is a pretty type.â
âThatâs not right. You once said that Iâm like a man in comics.â Nian Junting remembered that clearly.
âYouâre my favorite type.â Luosang wasnât in the mood for this kind of discussion so she gave a simple response.
Nian Junting curved his lips in a smile as her answer satisfied him.
âIt seems that my brother knows who I am for a long time.â Luosang had finally figured it out. âHe moved next-door to me deliberately, didnât he? Why didnât he just tell me the truth?â
Nian Junting glanced at her. Her families didnât tell her the truth because they wanted to find out what kind of man he was first. Mo Liuxi even pretended to be a suitor of Luosang. Back then, Nian Junting almost lost his temper because of jealousy. If he hadnât avoided picking a fight with him that day, Mo Jin would have seen him as a violent person.
His future brother-in-law was so evil. That boy was clearly not easy to deal with.
âI guess itâs because they donât want to scare you,â He said. âBesides, when your mother left, you didnât know that you had a brother. As for your mother, even though she hasnât talked to you, she has done a lot for you. Earlier I told you that a foreigner bought out the Yi Group. That person was your mother.â
Luosang was surprised. She had heard from Zeng Zhun that her motherâs family background wasnât ordinary, but didnât expect her to be so rich. She even bought out the Yi Group easily.
âWhy didnât she come back for me earlier?â Luosang suddenly got upset.
Previously she had thought that her mother might be living a poor life out there, and that was why she didnât come back for her. But now she found that she was wrong.
âShe had her own reasons. She only returned to the Morrison Family five years ago. Before that, she and your brother lived a hard life. So they couldnât come back to find you. Besides, if your father found out about your brother, he would want him. As a woman who has no power or money, I guess your mother didnât dare to take that risk.â
Nian Junting gently put an arm around Luosang to comfort her. âIâve asked Lu Kang to do some background checking. Your mother often went to the polar regions to film documentaries. Three years ago, she had an accident and was injured pretty badly. Three years ago, your brother came back to look for you, but then left in haste. I guess that was because your mother had an accident.â
Luosang understood, and suddenly, she blamed her father a little bit. If he had dealt with the problems between him and her mother in a mature way, and not locked her mother up after she got pregnant, she might not have been away for so many years.
âJunting, my mother didnât get married again, did she?â
âEm... according to what I know, no.â
Luosang sighed. âIn fact, my father still loves her. What happened twenty years ago was only a misunderstanding. I wish that they could get back together.â
Nian Junting moved his lips slightly then told the truth, âLuo, even though I havenât talked too much with your mother, I can tell that she hates your father. In fact, your parents are both adults. Just let them do what they find comfortable. Itâs unnecessary for them to be together for their children if it is against their wills.â
He himself had experienced the same thing. He witnessed Murong Cheng sacrifice a lot for Nian Xi and himself.
Luosang knew that he was thinking of his own parents. She nodded in silence, then said, âYouâre right. As long as theyâre happy.â
After saying that, she got up from the bed and said, âWhen will they be here?â
âThey live a little far away from here. Itâll take them about an hour driving. So they might be here at half-past ten or later. You can get some more sleep,â Nian Junting said as he held her hand.
âNo. How can I possibly fall asleep?â Luosang washed her hair, did some skincare, then changed her clothes over and over again.
Nian Junting leaned against the door of the closet, watched her, and said unhappily, âYou never selected clothes so carefully when going out with me.â
âYouâve seen me in ugly shapes and in pretty clothes. Why do you mind?â Luosang walked to him, stood on her tiptoes and kissed his lips. She was in a very good mood.
Nian Junting felt sweet in his heart. His woman rarely took such initiative to kiss him. How could he let her run away easily?
His strong arm clapped her waist and pulled her to his chest. Then Nian Juntingâs lips pressed against hers aggressively and invaded her sweet, freshly scented mouth.
Luosang put both her arms around his neck.
