Chapter 365 - I Won’t Be Like This Once I Marry Ji Chuan (2/2)

Nian Junting wasn’t willing to compromise by going to another, possibly subpar, restaurant, so Luo Sang offered to cook for him at home instead. Before they went home, they stopped by the police station to drop off the gift for Nian Xi.

Nian Xi was wearing her police uniform and holding a box of take-out when she came out to meet them. Nian Junting frowned at the sight of her and said, “Why are you eating so late, and what on earth are you eating? I think Xiaosi has better food than you do. It’s Christmas Eve, after all. Why do you have to work overtime anyway?”

“Come on, how can you compare your dog to me? You don’t understand, there will be more accidents happening on Christmas Eve, especially in bars and supper places.” Nian Xi giggled. “I wanted to rest, but someone else asked me to cover for them since they wanted to spend the occasion with their loved ones. Ji Chuan isn’t around to accompany me anyway, so I took this s.h.i.+ft willingly.”

Nian Junting looked a little torn and said, “Don’t work overtime too much. You’re not even married yet. Don’t tire yourself out, or you’ll look like an old hag soon.”

“Wow, look at you, caring for me. You’ve grown to show concern for those around you after being in a relations.h.i.+p,” Nian Xi exclaimed. “I know, I know. I won’t be like this once I marry Ji Chuan.”

“Don’t always talk about Ji Chuan.” Nian Junting reprimanded her.

“What are you saying? Come on, Ji Chuan is your brother, too.” Nian Xi was baffled.

Luo Sang interjected quickly, “He’s just worried about you.”

Nian Xi was shocked for a moment before shuddering. “Don’t make me cringe, sister.”

“…”

“Go on. Go on your date, guys. Don’t let me get in your way. I have things to handle back in the station, too.” Nian Xi waved goodbye to them.
