Chapter 867 - Sweet Quibble between Lovebirds (2/2)

At 5:30 p.m., Murong Cheng told Nian Xi, “Don’t fall in love with that scientist when you’re in Paris. I don’t approve of the two of you. Not that I don’t like him; I respect people who devote themselves to science. But the truth is, I just want you to be happy and he is someone who needs to be protected at all times. He is doing dangerous and important work. I just want you to be safe.”

Nian Xi frowned. “Since when was I going to date him? He isn’t courting me.”

“Your dad told me.”

Nian Xi brought her hand to her forehead. Her dad was surely trying to find an opportunity to talk to her mother. He dragged her down for his own intentions. He would lose his own daughter sooner or later.

“Ma, I’m going on a work trip. I’m not going on a date,” Nian Xi said.

Nian Junting looked at her casually. “I think you’re going there on a romantic trip. That guy is good at hiding his intentions.”

Luosang added, “He’s so fresh and handsome. It’s a treat to look at him all day.”

“…”

Nian Xi was furious. They had all underestimated her.

…

On Sunday, Nian Xi woke up early in the morning to pack her luggage.

Zhan Hong was downstairs waiting for her at ten o’clock.

As Nian Xi carried her luggage down, Zhan Hong and Huo Lizhi were sitting in the front of the car. Fang Qi helped her load her luggage and sat in the back with her.

“Why are we leaving so early?” Nian Xi asked. The original plan was to leave in the afternoon. Zhan Hong had called her early in the morning at six to notify her regarding the change of plans.

Zhan Hong said, “Mr. Han said that Mr. Jiang was going to the lab in the afternoon and he wouldn’t be able to meet us, hence we’re going now to catch him.”

Nian Xi nodded.

…

Outside the physics laboratory.

Jiang Yuning was staring at the door while eating his siew mai. If his mouth wasn’t moving, one might think that he was a sculpture.
