Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian Novel - Chapter 146

Chapter 146: It Occurred to Nian Xi Her Brother’s Ulterior Motives Behind Bringing the Dog Out.

As he watched his sister tell the story animatedly with her hand gestures and dramatic facial expressions, Nian Junting thought about stuffing her mouth shut. He wanted to hear Luosang’s voice, not hers.

“It sounds like the victim of the story could as well have been the perpetrator?” Nian Junting suggested.

“We need proof of that though,” Luosang was a little uneasy, as the memory of the night in the rain flashed by in her thoughts.

“Will you be able to investigate this thoroughly?” Nian Junting looked at his little sister sternly, “This isn’t a small matter. It could affect her future. If word gets to the dean’s office, then she could even be expelled.”

“Don’t worry about it brother. I have cracked several cases on my own this year. If I really can’t find any evidence, then I’ll turn to you for help ok? Given your capability, you’ll surely have a solution anyway,” Nian Xi was buttering up to her brother.

“That’s true, so…” he paused as he looked at Luosang with a prideful demeanor, “No need to put on that sour face of yours anymore. Oh yeah, Nian Xi, didn’t you tell me you were hungry earlier on? Let’s go, we can all have supper together.”

…When did I tell him that? Nian Xi thought to herself. Isn’t this a regular courtship, why did he have to be so pretentious? No wonder he is still single and lonely till today.

Nian Xi couldn’t help but roll her eyes at her brother, and she intentionally walked to the front passenger seat. Before she could sit down, her brother was already glaring at her, and cautioning her to act wisely.

“Forget it. I’ll sit in the back. It’s been a while since I cuddled Sisi,” Nian Xi scuttled to the backseat.

“You can sit in the front,” Nian Junting gestured to Luosang with his chin, “Sisi is too big, so you won’t fit in the back with them.”

“Alright,” Luosang stepped into the car awkwardly.

Looking at the two of them from the back, it suddenly occurred to Nian Xi that her brother had an ulterior motive behind bringing the dog out.

What a sneaky man. He didn’t want Luosang to squeeze behind.

As the sedan moved off, Luosang started staring out of the window. Parked on the side of the road was a small, white SUV, and it looked familiar, “Isn’t that your car, Nian Xi? Didn’t you say you didn’t drive today?”

Luosang remembered Nian Xi driving that same car at the Tianhu Villa.

“You must have remembered wrongly, there are so many people driving the same model as me,” Nian Xi denied quickly.

“But even the car plate number is the same one…”

Nian Xi was flustered. She didn’t think her lies would be exposed so quickly, “Really, hmm, I guess I did drive my car out today then. Look at my poor memory, I can’t even remember driving. I must have been really exhausted from overtime work. Look, I’m acting delirious.”

Nian Junting knew his sister had messed up, so he added on hastily, “So if you did drive to work today, then why did you make me come all the way here?”

Luosang was quiet; they were putting on quite a show.

Forget it, there’s no need to flesh things out. After all, Nian Xi had just helped me today, Luosang thought to herself.

“Brother, turn left ahead. I know a lot of supper places around here with decent food,” Nian Xi was slapping the driver’s seat from the back.

“Are you talking about the riverside area?” Luosang asked.

“You’ve been there before? The view there at night is impressive too,” Nian Xi continued, “I’m sure my brother has never been before though. He only goes to fancy places. If the décor didn’t cost them hundreds of thousands, then he wouldn’t even step into the restaurant.”

Luosang was a little stunned, and she recalled the noodle bar Nian Junting brought her.

She looked over at him, the streetlights flashing by were casting mesmerizing shadows on his face.
