Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian Novel - Chapter 323

Chapter 323: You Shouldn’t Do That Anymore. It’ll Make It Worse

Xiao Si frowned and said, “I understand where both of you are coming from. Luo Sang might just feel a little uncomfortable or squeamish. After all, she’s a prideful girl. It must have taken a lot of courage for her to speak to you about this in the first place. She might be a little disappointed that you lack faith in her father’s character.

“Yeah, I just hoped that she’d understand. Nian Junting said thoughtfully, “I don’t know Xu Zhengxuan well, so I can’t deem him as an innocent man just because of Yi Jingxi. I only believe in hard facts and evidence.

“It won’t be easy to look into the matter, Xiao Si said. “There was too much controversy over that incident. Almost everyone was talking about it then. I’ve seen the comments online. Some people even said things like they wished they could execute the man themselves. Even the mayor of An City had to make a public statement about his position on the matter due to crowd pressure. If we don’t have convincing evidence, it’ll be impossible to open the case again. We wouldn’t want the Nian family to be implicated in the end.

Nian Junting nodded. The worst thing a politician feared was a public controversy. Even though the Nian family was powerful and influential, there were many people who would jump at the opportunity to tear them down. If he was going to investigate the matter, he could only do it quietly.

“Let’s stop talking about this, Luo Sang is here, Xiao Si reminded him gently when he saw Luo Sang emerging from the bathroom.

…

Before they boarded the plane, Yan Su texted Luo Sang to tell her that she wouldn’t be coming home that night, as she had to choreograph a dance routine at the company.

“Yan Su’s not going home tonight? Nian Junting peeked over at her phone. “It wouldn’t be safe for you to sleep in the apartment by yourself. Come to the villa with me.

“What’s unsafe about it? I’m used to sleeping alone, Luo Sang replied in a low voice. She was still bothered about their earlier conversation.

“No one was there to worry about your safety last time. Nian Junting grabbed her hands and intertwined his fingers with hers. “If you don’t want to come to the villa, I can come over to your place tonight.

Luo Sang knew she could only choose between those two options. “If I go over to the villa, I’ll have to run back to the apartment to get my textbooks in the morning. I’ll end up being late for class… Luo Sang said hesitantly.

“Alright, I’ll have Lu Kang deliver my clothes to your place tomorrow morning.

…

Xiao Si took them both back to the apartment at 11:30pm. When they entered the two-room flat, Luo Sang turned to look at the man behind her. “Are you sure you want to stay over? Will you be comfortable sleeping here?

“After sleeping with you, I realized that it didn’t matter to me where I was sleeping. I only care about the fact that I’m sleeping with you. Nian Junting grinned and took off his jacket.

Luo Sang looked at him and shuddered. She had a feeling that they were about to re-enact what happened that morning. “Enough, not tonight. You just had your way this morning. My legs are chafed and sore.

“Why didn’t you tell me that your skin was chafed? Nian Junting said with concern, “Does it hurt? Do you need me to get you some bandages?

“It’s ok. It’ll heal by itself, but you shouldn’t do that anymore. It’ll make it worse. Luo Sang turned to get a drink of water.

“It’s all my fault. I am too thick…

Luo Sang spit out the water in her mouth in shock and turned bright red.

Nian Junting grinned with delight as he watched her expression. He threw his shirt to her and walked towards the master bathroom. “I’m going to take a shower.
