"She also said that I wouldn't talk back to her, and that I would always put her first. Everyone else is nothing to me. Even if she did something wrong, I would say that she was right. If I can't do all that, then I don't love her enough."
Old Lady Nian, Murong Cheng, Nian Xi, and Yu Wen couldn't help but nod their heads. Even Second Aunt Nian looked a little upset.
Many women didn't want to be protected by a man like that.
Mo Jin was the only one who was speechless.
He couldn't be her biological son, and she wondered who he looked like.
He wasn't interested in women at all, yet he said such high-sounding words.
"Liuxi, I agree with what you said."
Nian Xi's eyes glowed. "You're young, but you're the best guy I've ever met. If only I were born a few years later. I would definitely chase after you."
Yeah, why didn't Feng Jichuan put her first? He didn't love her enough.
"Thank you." Mo Liuxi raised his teacup. Before he took a sip, Yu Wen patted him on the shoulder and said, "Young man, my friend's daughter is really nice. I have to introduce you to her. I haven't seen such a likable young man like you in years."
Murong Cheng grinned and said, "Why don't I take you as my godson? You're so likable. What do you think, Mrs. Nian?"
Mo Jin had a headache. This guy had brainwashed all of them.
Nian Junting felt lucky that he had given his bank card to Luo Sang. Otherwise, she might think that he didn't love her enough.
Don't be fooled by this brat's usual cold and aloof demeanor. His words were simply poisonous, and he had a way of sowing dissension.
He was so good at making women happy. It hadn't been long, but he had already won the hearts of so many women.
Even now, his mother had accepted him as her godson.
"Aren't we talking about my marriage now?" He couldn't help but remind the women.
"Yeah, look at my bad memory." Murong Cheng nodded and continued talking about the marriage.
A few minutes later, Nian Qingyun came back alone. After chatting for a while, he suddenly realized that the atmosphere in his house wasn't right. His mother didn't want to talk to Grandpa Nian, and Aunt Nian was eating like a defeated rooster. They didn't talk to Nian Qingshan at all.
Grandpa Nian and Nian Qingshan didn't dare to say a word as their wife was full of resentment.
…
They finished dinner at 1: 30 pm.
Nian Junting walked the two old ladies to their car.
Nian Xi had to work in the afternoon. She walked toward the parking lot. After a while, she heard footsteps behind her. She turned around and saw Feng Jichuan behind her.
He was wearing a gray polo shirt, and looked cold.
This was the first time he saw him after four months. He was still as tall and broad as before, displaying the strength of a man.
It was because it was summer, and his skin was darker than before.
Her mind went blank, but she continued walking faster.
"Xiaoxi, wait for me," Feng Jichuan called out from behind.
Nian Xi had no choice but to slow down and turn to look at him. "What's up?"
"My car is over there too. Let's go together." Feng Jichuan walked quickly to her, his eyes gentle.
Nian Xi lowered her head and looked at the ground without saying a word. She kept walking forward, hoping to see her car soon. However, the parking space was too crowded, so she parked too far away.
However, not long after, someone grabbed his arm. Feng Ji Chuan said, "You've just finished eating. It's not good for your stomach if you walk too fast."
Nian Xi glanced at his hand that was holding hers, then turned her hand away. "I didn't run away, and I still have work to do at the police station."
"It's still early. It's not time for work yet. It's fine if you're a little late." Feng Jichuan looked at the watch on his wrist. "I heard that your application to work at the Criminal Police Division has been approved?"
"Yeah." Nian Xi nodded.
Feng Jichuan wasn't happy at all when he heard this. Instead, his expression was solemn. "You shouldn't have applied to join the Criminal Police Detachment. It's already tiring being a police officer. It's even more tiring being a criminal police officer. It's also very dangerous. You're a girl …"
"What's wrong with me being a girl?" Nian Xi was upset. "Can't a woman be a criminal police officer?"
Feng Ji Chuan shook his head and said, "That's not what I meant. I'm just worried about your safety. Criminal police officers handle major cases. Every year, there are casualties. Nian Xi, I just want you to be safe. Actually, being a police officer is not bad …"
"If that's what you're going to tell me, then I'm sorry. I've decided to go to the criminal police," Nian Xi interrupted him.
"Why are you so stubborn?" Feng Jichuan suddenly said, "Nian Xi, I still want to get back together with you. If we get married in the future, both of us will be criminal police officers. We'll be very busy. What about the children at home?"
Nian Xi was so angry that she laughed. "Don't you understand the situation? We've already broken up. If you want to get back together, you can get back together. If you want to have children, you can have children. However, what you said is indeed a very constructive idea. Indeed, I'm a police officer myself, so I can't find another police officer. Thank you for your reminder."
Feng Jichuan frowned. This wasn't what he wanted to see.
"If you don't want to marry me, then who do you want to marry? Xu Luosang said that you brought a man back," Feng Jichuan said the words that he had been suppressing in his heart during the meal. "Do you want to be with him?"
"I don't know, but I'm single now. Anything is possible." Nian Xi finally found her car, unlocked it, and opened the door.
Feng Jichuan grabbed the door with his large hand, looked at her with a bitter smile, and said, "Nian Xi, I don't understand. You have me in your heart, or you wouldn't have failed so many blind dates. I like you too. I didn't tell you because I was drinking with Shuangwei. If there really was something going on between us, we would have been together a long time ago. We're friends. Can't I even have a female friend? I promise you, I won't lie to you again."
Nian Xi's heart trembled violently. For a moment, she wavered. She almost said yes.
Yeah, no matter how many blind dates she went on, she didn't feel anything for him. In the dead of night, his face kept appearing in her mind.
In fact, he liked her. She believed that.
But it wasn't the kind of like she wanted.
During the past few months, he hadn't even called her. He would only text her during holidays. No matter how busy he was in the army, he wouldn't even have time to call her. Seriously, how could he be so calm when he liked someone?
"Jichuan, you might not know this, but not long ago, my brother broke up with Luosang," Nian Xi said abruptly.
"Luosang was the one who suggested the breakup. She was threatened by Jiang Qifei. My brother didn't know about it at first. He didn't want to accept the breakup at all, or rather, he couldn't accept the fact. In order to get back his love, such a proud man put himself in a very, very low position."
