Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian

Xiao Si and Luo Sang were both startled. They shook their heads, “No, there was periods of gossip, but they were baseless rumors, nothing more.”

“She isn’t gay, is she?” Nian Junting asked pointedly, “So many women are gay nowadays.”

“…”

Luo Sang wanted to break down, “No, she’s definitely not.”

“You aren’t familiar with her, why do you sound so sure?” Nian Junting said as he fiddled with the chopsticks in his hand.

Luo Sang was tired. Xiao Si rolled his eyes, “You’re paranoid over both men and women, aren’t you tired? Even if you aren’t, I feel tired for Luo Sang.”

“It was you who told me that many women are gay now, there was already an imbalance between the two genders. Now, not only do I have to be wary of women, I also have to be wary of men, it’s tiring.”

Nian Junting looked at Xiao Si, “Didn’t you once say so?”

Xiao Si nodded relentingly, “Yes, you didn’t miss a word.”

“If Ji Nuanyi isn’t a lesbian, we’ll find a time for you to meet with her. If she isn’t willing to help, it doesn’t matter. Anyways, I’ve never failed to accomplish what I want to do.”

Nian Junting had a solemn expression, “When we eventually ruin Yi Jingxi, you have to reward me, and the reward is dedicating yourself in entirety to me.”

“Pu…” Xiao Si was sipping water when he heard this, and now he had spat it all out.

Luo Sang’s face turned red-hot. She wanted to bury herself in the ground right there and then.

“Alright, I know you’re embarrassed, after all there’s a third-wheel in here.”

Nian Junting stroked her head gently, “You can do it, after all Xiaosi only pushed Zhongyi into the pool, and you were already kissing and feeding him.”

“Let’s… let’s eat,” Luo Sang picked up a piece of cod to stuff his mouth shut.

Xiao Si looked at the two of them and felt how excessive his presence was. Somehow, however, there was some joy in being their third-wheel.

…

After eating, Nian Junting arranged for Lu Kang to send Luo Sang back to the villa, before heading back to the office with Xiao Si.

On the way, he received a call from Nian Xi.

“Brother, the boss of the events company which set up the stage declared that it was an act of negligence on their part, they insist that no one had told them to say so, and they’re willing to pay three million dollars in compensation.”

Nian Junting laughed coldly, “Three million, are you dismissing me as a beggar? furthermore, how is it possible for such a small company to come up with three million dollars willingly? I don’t believe that there’s someone behind this.”

Nian Xi sighed, “They admitted that you’re not of ordinary status and that they cannot possibly win in court against you, so they would rather concede defeat. However, they do not have five million dollars currently, three million is all they can offer. There’s one more thing, my superiors have told me to close the case. Grandfather pulled some strings.”

“Looks like my hunch was right. Alright, close the case, I have ten thousand ways to make things square with Ye Chuen,” Nian Junting said before hanging up.

“Was it really Ye Chuen?”

Xiao Si fumed, “That girl was a pretty thing too, how did she turn so vicious? The two of them were even suitemates and good friends.”

“Pretty thing?” Nian Junting shot him a look. “Your taste is not too good.”

“…”

Xiao Si was silent for a while. Soon he could not help but ask, “How will you settle make things square?”

“I have ten thousand ways, but I already know which one is best,” Nian Junting said coldly, fiddling with his handphone.
