“Pah!” Nian Xi spit out the milk in her mouth. Good God, her brother was too straightforward.
Luo Sang silently lowered her head, hid her eyes under her bangs, and pretended not to have heard it.
“But I really want to go with you. I haven’t had a vacation abroad for a long time.” Nian Xi sighed, “Why don’t we go together after I marry Ji Chuan?”
“Can he travel abroad?” Nian Junting asked.
Nian Xi immediately looked disappointed. He was right, though. It could be really, really difficult for a soldier to go abroad.
“If you want to travel with Ji Chuan, you can only travel within the country for the rest of your life. Don’t even think about impossible things.” Nian Junting suddenly felt extra lucky that he hadn’t stayed in the army. He was really looking forward to the journey. The more he thought about it, the more excited he was. He even ate faster. “I’m done. I’m leaving for the company,” he said.
Luo Sang paused. “So soon?”
Nian Junting raised his brows and said excitedly, “Yeah, I want to finish my work as soon as possible. Hopefully, our vacation will start right after you’re back from An City.”
Luo Sang didn’t respond. Winter break was coming. All the students had started packing their bags, preparing to go home for New Year’s. When Luo Sang and Yan Su had left school the day before winter vacation, Chi Chengxu was there, too. “Luo, come visit my family during winter vacation. My mom says that you’re so ungrateful, you never visited her after leaving with Nian Junting.”
Luo Sang was a little embarrassed. Feng Ge had invited her a few times, but Nian Junting had been keeping her on a tight leash. Even though he needed to work every day, he kept track of her whereabouts 24/7 via phone. “I’ve been busy with classes lately. Please tell my godmother that I’ll definitely visit her, but at the beginning of this year, I’m going on vacation to Australia with Nian Junting.”
“Alright.” Chi Shengxu curved his lips downwards in slight disappointment and then said, “Remember to bring me a gift, then.”
“Sure, what kind of gift do you want?”
“I heard that Uggs aren’t bad. Bring me a pair.”
“You got it.”
“And, I’m going to sing a song at the CCTV New Year’s Gala this year, so don’t forget to watch it.” Chi Shengxu winked at Luo Sang, then got in the van that was there to pick him up.
As the van drove away, Yan Su said, “Are you sure that you’ll buy another man a pair of Uggs when you’re on a vacation with Mr. Nian? Won’t he lose his temper?”
Yan Su’s question made Luo Sang realize how serious this was. How could she possibly forget about that? “But… I’ve already promised him. How ’bout this, I’ll tell him that it’s for your boyfriend,” said Luo Sang.
“I think he’s unreasonable enough to forbid you from buying any man anything, unless that man is your dad. Am I right?” said Yan Su.
“Is that so bad?” Luo Sang clicked her tongue.
“What do you think?” Yan Su threw the question back to her.
Luo Sang didn’t know what to say. Having a jealous boyfriend could be troublesome.
“Xu Luo Sang, Yan Su…” At that moment, a Maserati stopped before the two of them. The car’s backseat window dropped, exposing Ye Chuen’s sour face. Kang Ying was sitting next to her.
“Xu Luo Sang, don’t be too proud. I failed to take you down last time because Junting is still interested in you. but I’m telling you that you’ll soon be out of the game.” Ye Chuen sneered.
Luo Sang didn’t want to talk to her at all, but Yan Su couldn’t bear listening to her. “What are you planning now? Stop bothering her like a crazy dog,” said Yan Su.
“I think you’re more like a dog. All you can do is follow behind Xu Luo Sang and bark. Let’s see how long you can bark.” Ye Chuen snorted, then turned to Luo Sang and said, “Junting’s childhood sweetheart is coming back. She’s way better than you. You’ll be crying.”
“So that’s what you’re talking about. I knew about her long ago,” Luo Sang responded blandly.
