Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian

“Sorry, Mr. Nian, it’s my fault.”

Lu Kang kept apologizing. Thankfully, he didn’t tell Nian Junting that Luosang was living in Chi Shengxu’s place, or Nian Junting’s angry yell might blow his phone up.

Nian Junting calmed down, and then said, “Never mind. I didn’t think that my grandparents would actually work with Yi Jingxi. The two old people are getting muddled. I wonder why didn’t Zhong Zhou Group go bankrupt in their hands. Zhong Zhou is lucky. Wait for me. I won’t let this end so easily. I’ll make them pay, no matter who they are.”

He angrily ended the call.

Xiao Si had learned the whole story from a manager in the company. “It has only been a few days, yet things changed drastically back there. Over a billion, oh my, it’s gone. My heart is aching…” he said.

“It’s nothing but a billion. We’ll earn it back,” Nian Junting turned back and said to him.

Xiao Si rolled his eyes, saying, “That’s easy for you to say.”

“Of course, because I have a brain,” Nian Junting pointed at his own head.

Like I don’t have one, Xiao Si thought.

“Alright, I’ll go back to the village with you to say goodbye to Uncle Feng. You stay here. In a few days, you and Uncle Feng will bring Ji Chuan back to Xia City for further treatment,” Nian Junting patted Xiao Si’s arm, then quickly started the car.

…

Nian Junting spent two days driving to Lhasa, then got on a flight to Xia City.

Lu Kang picked him up at the airport. He barely recognized his boss.

It had only been about ten days, but Nian Junting had lost some weight, his skin was tanned, eyes were bloodshot, face wore a stubble of untrimmed beard. It seemed that he hadn’t shaved for days.

What made Lu Kang Jealous was that even like this, Nian Junting still looked handsome. His face was less delicate than before, yet seemed perfectly manly and mature. So much so that quite some people in the airport stopped to look at him.

“Mr. Nian, the car is ready on the outside,” Seeing him, Lu Kang felt like seeing the solution of all problems.

“Em,” Nian Junting responded shortly, kept walking forward, looked travel-worn.

After getting into the car, Nian Junting gave his order, “Go to Luosang’s apartment. I want to see Luosang first. I can’t imagine how frightened she is these days, without me.”

“Eh… In fact, Miss. Xu is doing alright… Maybe you should go to the company first,” said Lu Kang.

If he now told Nian Junting that Luosang was living in Chi Shengxu’s place, his boss might murder him right on the spot.

“How can she possibly be doing alright? She must be pretending to be strong, as I wasn’t here. How can you not understand that? No wonder you can’t get a girlfriend,” Nian Junting shook his head, gave Lu Kang a sour glance, saying, “Drive. I can’t wait to see her.”

He could imagine that when seeing him, the fragile Luosang would certainly hold him and helplessly kiss his lips, and her eyes would turn red.

His face was covered in stubbles, so Luosang might find him prickly when kissing him.

He touched his face, then asked Lu Kang, “Do we have a shaver in the car? I lost mine on the road.”

Lu Kang shook his head, responding, “We don’t have a shaver in the car, Mr. Nian. You look handsome now. You can shave your face back in the company.”

“I know I’m handsome. I’m just don’t want Luosang to complain about my prickly face later, when she kisses me,” said Nian Junting coldly, “It’s a long separation, do you understand?”

Lu Kang really wanted to cry, “Mr. Nian, I don’t think it’s time for you to think about kissing. These ten days, we have really been anxious for you to return.”
