Chapter 820: Chapter 820 - Her Bride Price Was a Thousand?

Luosang didn’t know how to respond.

Nian Junting grumpily spent a short while on the computer then raised his head again and couldn’t help but say, “I think my place in your heart faces challenges. You never admired me, nor praised me, nor told me that I’m good or anything like that.”

“I have said that in my mind. You’re good at what you’re doing too.”

“Have you said that in your mind when we were having sex?” Nian Junting asked calmly.

Luosang had no choice but to respond awkwardly, “I have. You’re good at having sex as well.”

“So you like having sex with me, don’t you?” Nian Junting abruptly raised his eyebrows.

That was a little off-topic, wasn’t it? Luosang thought.

“I’m going to sleep.” Luosang lay down and turned around.

Nian Junting put down the laptop and pressed his body against hers, put his arms around her, and said, “Luo, I want you to be nice to me in a unique way.”

“Junting, I can only tell you what I have with you is unique indeed.” Luosang turned, looked him in the eyes and said, “You’re the one I’m going to share my life with while Liuxi is my family. In the future, he’ll marry a girl that he loves, while I will grow old together with you. We’ll become two grey-haired old people, holding hands, walking under the setting sun.”

Nian Junting pictured that scene and found it very beautiful. Suddenly he felt much better.

“That’s right, but I don’t like you peeling shrimps for him, and I don’t like you watching films with him even more.”

“Alright, I won’t go,” Luosang laughed.

Liuxi was so young and handsome, so he must have a lot of suitors. In fact, Luosang doubted that he would ever have time to watch a film with his sister. After all, many girls would want to date him.

Luosang said, “Also, you were really shameless today. You called my mother ‘Mom’ so many times, and called my father ‘uncle’. You used to call him ‘Dad’. Aren’t you afraid that my father might found out about that?”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Nian Junting showed no sign of shame. On the contrary, he even raised an eyebrow when responding to her. “Your father won’t care. I guess he only cares about your mother now. You see, when your father comes out of prison and finds that your mother is still so young and pretty, will he have any spare energy to think about you and me?”

Luosang paused briefly. She thought about it and found that he was right.

She asked, “What do you mean? Are you saying that my father looks much older than my mother?”

“What do you think?” He threw the question back.

Luosang didn’t know what to say. Before, Xu Zhengxuan looked not bad, but after he went to prison, his hair had become grey.

“And your father is mild, while your mother is strong. So basically, as long as your mother likes me, your father will have no problem with me,” Nian Junting added.

He had no other choice but to sacrifice his dear future father-in-law. Luosang stayed silent.

You’re so sneaky, she thought.

“No wonder you even brought the bride price today. How much money did you put in it?” Luosang suddenly recalled. She hurriedly found the red envelope from the drawer and took the card out of it. It was actually a normal debit card and looked new.

“Em, it’s new. I put a thousand yuan on it.”

“A thousand?”

Did she mishear? Her bride price was just a thousand?

“Yeah,” Nian Junting replied languidly, “You have all my other cards and money. I knew that your mother wouldn’t take it. Even if she did, she’d immediately give it to you.”

Luosang honestly didn’t know what to say. She thought that he had put hundreds of millions on that card but it turned out that she was overthinking.

“Give it back to me.” Nian Junting took the card back from her hand.

“That’s my bride price,” Luosang found it both funny and annoying.

“We share everything now.” Nian Junting made himself sound very reasonable.

Luosang didn’t know how to respond.

Next morning, before going to work, Nian Junting turned and said to Luosang, “don’t go out these days.”

“My mom will come later to see the house nearby. I want to go with her,” Luosang responded with a sleepy voice. “We’ll be right in the neighborhood. We’ll be fine.”

“Alright, just don’t leave the neighborhood.” Nian Junting thought for a moment and then said, “I heard your mother mention Yi Jingxi yesterday. He went missing, but I feel that he might come to find you.”

Luosang stayed silent at first. A short while later, she said, “Why? There’s nothing left to say between us.”

Nian Junting silently gave her a glance. Sometimes, she couldn’t tell what a man might think.

At10am, Mo Jin arrived. She and Luosang walked to the house that Nian Junting talked about together. That house was only 100 meters away from Nian Junting’s. It was a three-story villa, brand-new and finished in traditional Chinese style. The plants in the garden were thriving.

The realtor said, “This house was just finished a year ago. The owner needs to move out of the country. That’s why he put the house on sale at a low price. You live in the neighborhood too so I believe I don’t need to mention how good the environment and the management are. To be honest, this place can’t be considered as the best villa in Xia City, but it is the most comfortable one.”

“Mom, what do you think?” Luosang asked.

“Anywhere near you is good,” Mo Jin smiled.

Luosang and her mother shared the same idea, so they soon reached an agreement.

They didn’t put in an offer immediately, because Nian Junting told Luosang to let him talk to the realtor about the price. After all, she and her mother did not really know about the house prices in the neighborhood, so some people might take advantage of them. Therefore, after deciding to buy the house, they left the realtor.

They returned to the villa and had lunch. Sister Lan received a phone call after lunch. Then she started to say something to Luosang a few times, but didn’t finish.

At first, Luosang didn’t notice it. But later, she saw her whisper to Steward Wu a few times. “Sister Lan, what’s wrong?”

Sister Lan hesitated for a while then said, “the security people said that a young man is at the front entrance asking to see you. Earlier, Young Master warned the security people, so they have been rigorously guarding the entrance. They didn’t allow him in and told him to leave. He refused to leave and stood outside in the sun. Steward Wu just went out and took a look at the guy, and then found a picture of Yi Jingxi online and compared it to him. We think it’s him out there.”

Luosang frowned. Nian Junting had guessed right.

“Have you told Junting about it?”

“Yes. Young Master told you to ignore him. Just let him stand there,” said Steward Wu.

Luosang glanced at the sunlight out there. It was in the middle of the day and the sun was scorching the earth. Standing in the sun for a long time might really give someone heat exhaustion.

“I think you can let him come in. It’ll be okay for you to see him,” said Mo Jin. “There are bodyguards in the villa so you have nothing to be afraid of. And I think he might be here to end things with you this time if he still has some conscience.”

Luosang sneered, “Does he have any conscience? Earlier in court, I presented the evidence. Anyone who has any sense of shame would have admitted the crime. Mom, some people who have climbed to high places tend to cling onto the money and power in their hands forever, and by any means. He did what he did not only for revenge, but also to keep the wealth and power that he had.”

Mo Jin took a sip of the iced coffee and said, “I told you to see him, not because I pity him, I don’t pity him at all. Honestly, his life has been ruined by Chu Lei. Chu Lei lied to him. I don’t know what exactly that lie was, but what I’m trying to say is that if your father hadn’t messed around with Chu Lei, he wouldn’t have hurt you for no reason.”
