Chapter 1536: Jiang Yuning, I Can’t Bear to Let You Go
Mo Liuxi drove the car during their journey back home. All of a sudden, Nian Xi began to hug Luosang and cry in her drunken fit. “Jiang Yuning, I can’t bear to let you go! I can’t!” she sobbed.
Luosang was stunned and shocked. “You… shouldn’t act like that. I’m a married woman,” Luosang said as she trembled.
Nian Junting sneered coldly, amazed that she could actually remember that she was married.
Mo Liuxi took one glance at the backseat through the rear mirror of the car, with a complicated look in his eyes. “She had a breakup?” he asked.
“Yes,” Nian Junting replied calmly as he nodded his head. Ultimately, it was best for Jiang Yuning’s mission as an undercover to be known by as few people as possible. Nian Xi would likely be subjected to the judgment of others for the subsequent period.
Mo Liuxi was puzzled. “How can that be? They seemed to hit off so well previously, and they even sent a WeChat message to announce that he had proposed to her. I thought that they’d be getting married at the end of the year,” he said.
Nian Junting sighed softly and replied, “It’s hard to explain matters of the heart. It’s not impossible to break up at the door right when you’re about to enter the wedding chapel, so you should also watch out in case Yan Su suddenly ditches you.”
Unable to put up with him anymore, Mo Liuxi said, “You’re bent on pitting against me tonight, aren’t you?”
“You think too much,” Nian Junting said calmly. “I’m merely talking about a common and factual observation in the present-day society.”
Mo Liuxi fell silent as he pondered about it.
Forget it; he did not want to argue with Nian Junting anymore. After all, he was certain that he would get married this year, and if things failed to work out, he would directly kidnap Yan Su home.
Halfway through their journey, Nian Junting suddenly felt Luosang’s cell phone vibrate. When he tapped on it, he realized that it was a WeChat message from Jiang Yuning, which read, “Sister-in-law, could you help me remind Nian Xi to take the birth control pills? I’m slightly worried that she won’t eat it.”
Mo Liuxi could suddenly sense a chilling atmosphere in the car. He trembled before glancing at the man who was seated in the pa.s.senger’s seat.
“b.a.s.t.a.r.d!” Nian Junting blurted as he clenched his teeth and kept the cellphone.
That punk simply had to devour Nian Xi before he left.
Did he think that he could do as he pleased because he was leaving to work as an undercover?
Nian Junting had a good mind to give Jiang Yuning a good thras.h.i.+ng when he returned three years later.
Baffled, Mo Liuxi asked, “Who are you referring to?”
“Jiang Yuning,” Nian Junting answered.
Mo Liuxi went silent. Every time a couple broke up, one party would certainly be the jerk, and it seemed like it was Jiang Yuning in this case.
“Could you stop for a moment when we pa.s.s by the pharmacy later? I need to get some flu medicine. My throat doesn’t feel very well,” Nian Junting spoke in a cold, low voice.
“You don’t sound like it. I think you look pretty well. You even look like you’re well enough to hunt a tiger in the mountains,” Mo Liuxi teased.
Nian Junting was speechless.
He could not seem to engage his brother-in-law in a proper conversation at all.
…
When Nian Xi woke up the next morning, she opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling.
She felt exceptionally terrible after sobering up. In the previous day, she was still rolling around in bed with Jiang Yuning, and it felt like they would be so blissful for the rest of their lives. However, in the blink of an eye, she was all by herself now.
Nian Xi flipped over and thought that the bed felt huge and empty. It felt too lonesome.
She dawdled until 10:00 a.m. before she went downstairs. Luosang’s hair was unkempt, and she was having her breakfast, while Little Apple was quietly seated and playing with his toy blocks.
“Xixi, you’re awake. Here, have some breakfast!” Luosang said as she waved at Nian Xi. “I just woke up as well. My head hurts so bad…”
Nian Xi sat down, but after she took two bites, she did not have the appet.i.te to eat anymore.
After Luosang ate for a while, she suddenly recalled what Nian Junting had instructed her to do this morning. She quickly whipped out a box of medicine from her pocket and pa.s.sed it to Nian Xi. “Your brother wants you to eat this,” she said.
When Nian Xi saw the name of the medicine written on the box, she began to cough furiously. At that moment, no matter how thick-skinned she was, she could no longer remain calm.
