Luosang didn’t know what to say. She suddenly started feeling sorry for her baby. She rubbed her belly, sat on the couch, and said, “That won’t happen. Our baby will surely be as smart and adorable as me.”

“He can be as adorable as you, as for smart…” Nian Junting gave her a look that implied he didn’t agree.

Xu Zhengxuan nodded to agree with him. “In terms of intelligence, I hope the baby won’t be like Sangsang.”

Luosang found their words hurtful. “Am I not smart? I can memorize pretty much anything I read, and I’m good at acting…”

“You’re easily fooled by men,” Nian Junting said before she could finish speaking.

Luosang didn’t respond. That was the dark history from which she could never escape.

“Sangsang, ignore them.” Nian Xi patted her shoulder with pity and said, “I have only one wish. I wish the baby won’t be like my brother.”

“No, he won’t,” Luosang said, trying to comfort herself. “Nian Xi, how come you have time to come here today?”

“I have a lot of time. I just sit in the office every single day.” Nian Xi unhappily glared at Nian Junting. “Did you talk to my superiors? I’ve worked there for over a month. They sometimes give me cases that are over 10 years old, and sometimes make me search for doc.u.ments. Those doc.u.ments almost blinded me. Any case that requires field world has nothing to do with me.”

“Isn’t that good?” Nian Junting aske with indifference. “Do you have to go undercover to work with those large cases or catch drug dealers? How many people can you really catch? I’m afraid that you’d be hindering the rest of the team in the field.”

Nian Xi stood up in anger. “Do not underestimate me. I solved cases back at my old police station.”

“Those were only small cases,” Nian Junting replied. “Your superior arranged them for you for a reason. Alright, let’s stop here. Don’t argue with me. I’m in a bad mood now.”

Nian Junting went upstairs with a cold face.

Nian Xi was irritated. She picked up her bag and headed out.

“Xi, stay for dinner,” Luosang hurriedly said.

“I’m not in the mood to eat,” Nian Xi said as she angrily left.

Luosang sighed. It was inappropriate for her to talk to Nian Junting about Nian Xi’s work. Besides, she didn’t want Nian Xi to work with those dangerous cases.

…

Nian Xi unhappily returned to the police station. She didn’t even have the mood to eat anything.

While she was browsing some files about an old case, her colleague, Cheng Jing, came over and said, “Stop reading that. Director has important work for us.”

“It’ll have nothing to do with me anyway,” Nian Xi replied. She was clearly agitated. “I never get to go out to carry a mission.”

“Don’t say that,” Cheng Ying said. “Do you think that’s a good thing? We are doing a dangerous job. Every year, some of our colleagues are sacrificed. Young lady, you just don’t understand.” He poked her head and said, “Let’s go.”

The two of them walked to the door of the conference room. Feng Ji Chuan came over with a few of his colleagues. He was wearing a black suit, which couldn’t hide his perfect body shape.

Nian Xi glanced at him. She turned and walked into the conference room. After looking around, she found herself a seat in the corner.

Cheng Jing sat beside her and whispered, “Oi, I heard that Feng Ji Chuan is your ex-fiance. Why did you break up with such a manly and handsome man? Ever since he came to our station, all the unmarried women here got so excited. I’ve heard that quite a few girls are interested in him. That’s reasonable though. He’s tall and handsome and has a good family background. Besides, he was a special-forces soldier. Now, he’s under Captain Luo’s command. I heard that he played an important role in that cross-border fraud they solved.”

Nian Xi was not happy to hear that news but remained calm. In a bland tone, she said, “No matter how capable he is, we were not a good match. After all, marriage is not like a job.
