Chapter 1211: I Have Something Even Better. Would You like to Try?
“You are amazing.” Nian Xi sighed.
“I have something even better. Would you like to try?” Jiang Yuning said smiling.
Nian Xi thought his words sounded a bit weird. Oh no, this could lead to some misunderstandings.
She couldn’t help but glance at his lower body.
Jiang Yuning dropped his head to follow her eyes, then said to her, “I said I have something even better. Why are you looking at my feet?”
Nian Xi cleared her throat, realizing she might have misunderstood him.
“Eh… That watch of yours is great. Can you give it to my nephew?” Nian Xi, being thick-skinned, looked at him and blinked her watery eyes.
It was the first time she made such a tempting face in front of him. Jiang Yuning stopped breathing. He almost said yes.
The mere thought of Nian Xi attending the party with Feng Ji Chuan made Jiang Yuning shake his head quickly. “No way,” he said.
Nian Xi pulled a long face. She didn’t expect him to say no to the charming and adorable side of her. “Then… how about you give it to me?”
“No.” Jiang Yuning turned around and gave her an annoyed look. “Not unless I can give it to your nephew myself.”
He has even learned to threaten me. I’m impressed, Nian Xi thought.
“Are you gonna turn me down?”
“I’m not turning you down.” Jiang Yuning bit his lip and said, “I’ll give it to your nephew if I can attend his party myself.”
“You are threatening me,” Nian Xi said through clenched teeth.
“It’s not like I have to go to the party,” Jiang Yuning murmured in a low voice.
He didn’t mean to threaten her. But the thought of Nian Xi having dinner later with Feng Ji Chuan made him uneasy.
“Alright, I’ll take you to the party.” Nian Xi gave up struggling for the sake of her nephew. “But can you give me a watch like that too after the party?”
Hearing her words, Jiang Yuning turned around and responded with a happy smile, “I’ll give you anything you want.”
Rolling her eyes, Nian Xi said, “You’re just saying that. I asked you for the watch just now and you said no to me twice.”
“It’s because… Feng Ji Chuan will be at the party. I don’t like that.” Jiang Yuning told her the truth.
“Why? I held your hand and ran out of the room just now, right in front of him.” Nian Xi laughed.
“You wouldn’t have held my hand if I didn’t have pads,” said Jiang Yuning, dropping his head disappointedly.
Nian Xi was surprised. She didn’t expect him to grasp things so clearly sometimes.
She stayed silent for a while, then said, “But, you bought me what I needed the most. You may not believe it, but it was the first time a boy ever bought pads for me. You’re very thoughtful.”
“Didn’t you have a boyfriend before?” Jiang Yuning was confused.
“He was in the army, away from home. If he could have come back once a year, I’d have been so happy. After he was discharged, he came home and we broke up. I think we had been together way too long because we rarely saw each other. Normally, we only talked on the phone. What we showed each other were our best sides. When we finally had a chance to spend every day together, we realized we weren’t compatible. So please don’t be jealous of him. If he and I could get back together, we would have done that long ago.”
Jiang Yuning’s eyes sparkled. It was the first time she talked to him about Feng Ji Chuan.
Before that, he always worried that he might not measure up to him and that they might get back together again.
Now he felt rea.s.sured.
“Also, you were awesome during the trial.” Nian Xi stepped forward and hugged him. “Thank you for giving the criminal the punishment he deserves.”
Jiang Yuning was stunned.
How come Nian Xi suddenly hugged him near the toilet?
He wasn’t prepared for that at all.
Just now, when Fang Qi hugged him, he felt as if a mountain was laid upon him. However, when Nian Xi hugged him, he felt as if a great burden was lifted and he was floating high above the clouds.
