“We’re really sorry. We’ll be more careful next time.” The middle-aged man bowed to her and said to Jiang Yuning, “We should get going now.”
Nian Qingyun mistook the man as Jiang Yuning’s father and stepped forward angrily. “Is this your son? I’m telling you, don’t let him near my daughter again. I don’t want a man like him as my son-in-law.”
How could someone as weak as Jiang Yuning protect his daughter? How dare he sleep over at a girl’s place without being engaged or meeting the parents yet? He was definitely not from a decent family.
The man who had a build like Vin Diesel next to them looked grim, and he stepped forward and stared down at Nian Qingyun, then said in a threatening tone, “Be careful with your words. I won’t allow you to defame our Mister like that.”
Nian Qingyun was shocked. He figured that Jiang Yuning had to be of some importance. He still didn’t like the boy, as his personality was too eccentric. “Do you know who you’re speaking to?”
He had seen all sorts of things before, so he wasn’t afraid of a man who was bigger than him.
“Can I speak with you privately, Mr. Nian?” the middle-aged man smiled ceremoniously.
Nian Qingyun hesitated but walked out with the middle-aged man. Nian Xi couldn’t hear what they were saying, but they had a short conversation before Nian Qingyun shook his hand and they both smiled at each other.
Nian Xi thought it was ridiculous. What was going on?
After a while, Nian Qingyun walked back to them and extended his hand towards Jiang Yuning. Nian Xi was scared that Jiang Yuning didn’t see his gesture, so she quickly reminded him, “My dad wants to shake your hand.”
Jiang Yuning paused, and his eyes landed on Nian Qingyun, who shook his hand lightly.
After releasing his hand, Jiang Yuning walked over to Nian Xi and said softly, “My back hurts, after your massage.”
“…” What was he saying this early in the morning?! People were going misunderstand. Nian Xi could feel the heat of Nian Qingyun’s stare.
She quickly added, “You were injured. Of course, I had to use some force on it.”
“But… I don’t mind it,” Jiang Yuning grinned, reached into his pocket, and pulled out the electrocution rod. He then handed it over to Nian Xi.
Nian Xi was stunned. “You’re giving it to me?”
Jiang Yuning nodded his head.
“You should hold on to it.” Nian Xi shook her head. “I know martial arts, but you can’t defend yourself.”
“I have many other gadgets like this,” he whispered softly.
Nian Xi accepted his gift after he reassured her. She had born witness to the prowess of the small equipment. She was often involved in dangerous situations, so it wouldn’t hurt to have something like this to protect herself.Read more chapters at ReadNovelFull.com
Jiang Yuning smiled when she accepted his gift, then took his leave with the group of escorts. When the elevator door closed, Nian Qingyun said through gritted teeth, “Nian Xi, how could you lie to me that there’s nothing going on between you two…”
“Dad, he took a hit for me when a drunkard made a scene at the station last night. I just applied some balm on his wounds.” Nian Xi had no more energy left to explain herself further.
“Fine, but what about that token of love?” Nian Qingyun pointed at the item in her hands. They were exchanging flirtatious looks right in front of him. Did they forget that he was still around?
Nian Xi frowned and waved the little rod, “Dad, do you know what this is? The drunkard last night passed out when he touched this rod. I didn’t want you to make a fool out of yourself. Forget about fighting him.”
