“I’d be honored to stay in my position,” Feng Ji Chuan said with pride. Aunty Feng immediately smacked the back of his head.
“You may be honored, but have you considered your father’s and my feelings? We’re constantly living in fear and worry. I nearly fainted when I heard that you were shot this time around. Have you thought about Nian Xi, to whom you’re promised? She’s a policewoman now solely because of you. How can you tell us that you still want to stay in the troops? I’ll have to teach you a lesson on her behalf.”
Uncle Feng was furious, too. “Transfer, you have to transfer back. You’re not my son if you don’t do the transfer.”
“Dad, didn’t you tell me from the time I was young that I must be prepared to sacrifice myself for our country when I entered the army?” Feng Ji Chuan frowned.
Before Uncle Feng could reply, Nian Xi croaked, “You don’t have to contribute to our country in his manner. I am a policewoman, and I’m serving our citizens all the same. Even if you don’t transfer back home, you can stay in the Xia City military camp and train other soldiers. Ji Chuan, don’t you love me anymore?”
Feng Ji Chuan was shocked. He raised his head and saw her eyes turn red. His heart ached when he saw the sadness in her eyes. “Of course not. Xiao Xi, don’t read too much into this.”
“You can tell me if you don’t love me anymore, it’s ok. I’m not the kind to pester you incessantly.” Nian Xi shrugged. “I’ve done my best to respect your decisions and adhere to what we agreed upon at the beginning. I’ve waited for you patiently for so many years only to have you tell me that you want to continue your stay there. How can you expect me to sacrifice each time? If you had told me right from the start that you never wanted to come back, I might not have spent my days waiting for your return with antic.i.p.ation. I don’t think you even want to marry me anymore after hearing all of this.” She turned and left after speaking her mind.
Nian Qingyun had calmed down. “Feng, you should speak with your son. Nian Xi wasn’t wrong in saying all that. It’s ok if he doesn’t want to go through with the marriage anymore. We can call off the engagement. I just don’t want to waste any more of my daughter’s time. I admit that Ji Chuan is an outstanding young man, but there are plenty of other impressive suitors out there. Truthfully, I am very disappointed in you, Ji Chuan. You’re being very selfish here.” He turned to leave when he finished but stopped at the door and looked at Nian Junting. “You come out here, too.”
Nian Junting frowned and led Luosang out of the room. Nian Qingyun looked at Luosang with a cold expression. “Don’t tell me you’re really marrying this woman. I’m ok with you dating her, but marriage is out of the question.”
Luosang frowned. She couldn’t believe all the obstacles placed in front of her just to be with the man she loved.
“What position are you in to tell me this?” Nian Junting asked calmly.
“I’m telling you this as your father, of course.” Nian Qingyun was outraged by his son’s impudence.
“You don’t have the right to tell me this. Don’t forget what you’ve done. I can’t believe you’re telling me this without any sense of embarra.s.sment.” Nian Junting smirked. “If I were to listen to you, I guess should also go sleep around with my best friend’s wife.”
“You…” Nian Qingyun glanced over at Luosang. His face was red with both anger and embarra.s.sment.
“I might listen to my mother if she came over to talk to me, but I’ll never pay any attention to what you say,” Nian Junting said coolly. “I’m only acknowledging you because of grandpa and grandma, so don’t flatter yourself too much. Mother has already approved of Luosang, so did maternal grandma and grandpa. Don’t stir up any more trouble.”
“Isn’t your mother being ridiculous?”
“I think that she has always been ridiculous. After all, she did marry you in the first place. The wisest thing she did in her life was give birth to me.” Nian Junting smirked again and walked off with Luosang.
