Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian

Luosang turned her head and looked. The woman who spoke had walked over. With her long, black, wavy hair, she appeared to be in her forties. Dressed in a white jacket and white skirt, she wore a pair of high heels. Although she was mature, she still had a slender figure and appeared elegant. If Murong Cheng’s appearance was described as being firm like iron, then this woman’s appearance could be described as being as gentle as water.

“Dear, could you do me a favor and bring her that coat over there?” Murong Cheng ignored the woman and turned her head to talk to the sales assistant.

“Cheng Cheng, it’s been so many years. Are you still angry?” The woman looked at Murong Cheng, appearing ever so slightly hurt.

“Jiang Qi Fei, I already told you, I never want to see you ever again in my life. My words won’t change over time,” Murong Cheng said coldly.

Jiang Qi Fei appeared upset, biting her lip.

Luosang was troubled. She wondered if she should find an excuse to leave. Just then, Nian Xi finished changing and emerged from the changing room. “Sangsang, what do you think of this…” Before she could finish her sentence, she caught sight of Jiang Qi Fei. Her expression instantly changed.

“Xi Xi, you’re still as pretty as before.” Jiang Qi Fei smiled at her. “Shuangwei is coming back in a few days, too. You guys can meet up then. I still remember when you both were the best of buddies.”

“Jiang Qi Fei, my daughter and I never want to see you or your daughter ever again.” Murong Cheng stared at her coldly. “Nian Xi, Sangsang, go change your clothes. We’ll leave once we pay.”

“Cheng Cheng, must we drag our children into our problems?” Jiang Qi Fei frowned. “They grew up together. Furthermore, Nian Xi is Ji Chuan’s fiancé, and Ji Chuan is such good friends with Shuangwei. How can they avoid each other?”

“What are you two waiting for?” Murong Cheng shot Nian Xi an impatient look. Nian Xi pulled Luosang with her to the changing room. On the way, Luosang saw Nian Xi’s moody expression. She wondered about the history that Murong Cheng had with this woman and the girl called Shuangwei. To have made Murong Cheng so angry, did this woman have anything to do with Nian Qingyun? However, as this seemed to be a private family matter, Luosang decided not to ask about it.

They finished changing. This time, Nian Xi took the same amount of time as she did. As they walked out, they realized that Jiang Qi Fei had not left. She said to Nian Xi, “Xi Xi, how is Ji Chuan’s health? When Shuangwei and I are free, we’ll pay him a visit.”

Nian Xi was confused. Murong Cheng said, enraged, “Jiang Qi Fei, I asked you to scram. Why are you still here? Must I hit you?”

Luosang grabbed Nian Xi’s arm and said, “Let’s go somewhere else.”

Nian Xi did not budge. She stared right at Jiang Qi Fei. “What happened to Ji Chuan? Why did you ask about his health? Did something happen?”

Jiang Qi Fei was startled. “You didn’t know? Shuangwei told us that he’s been shot, but he’s no longer in critical condition.”

“What?” Nian Xi stared at Murong Cheng. “Ji Chuan’s injured, and you all knew?”

Murong Cheng said quietly, “Your brother told us that he was injured at the China-India border.”

“So my brother hasn’t been busy with the company, it’s because Ji Chuan’s in mortal danger?” Nian Xi was infuriated. “You’ve all been hiding this from me. No wonder I haven’t been able to contact him. What if anything happened to him? I wouldn’t even be able to see him.”

“If you knew, you’d definitely fly over. The place is so dangerous. I can accept that you became a cop for him, but I will not let you go to such a dangerous place.”
