Chapter 901 - The Person I Like Doesn’t Want Me Anymore (2/2)

“I want to see a picture of your ex-boyfriend,” Jiang Yuning said. He had to know how this man looked, for her to be so smitten with him.

Nian Xi felt terrible, but the last thing she wanted was to lead him on. She went onto Feng Ji Chuan’s social account and opened up a picture of him. Jiang Yuning examined the man closely. He was wearing his army uniform and looked tall and hunky. His gaze was sharp, and he looked smart and clean. Jiang Yuning looked at his own lanky arms. He put down his arms dejectedly but refused to give up. “I’ll start working out from now on.”

“You’re not him even if you bulk up,” Nian Xi said harshly.

The light in Jiang Yuning’s eyes went out. He walked back to the bed, lay down silently, and curled up into a ball like a small baby.

Nian Xi didn’t know what else to say other than to sigh. Although it was n.o.ble to be a scientist, she just wanted to be an ordinary citizen for the sake of her family.

I’m sorry, Jiang Yuning. If I were to be with you, you might become a burden in my life.

…

The next day, Nian Xi woke up first. She didn’t sleep well that night; the flight was at noon, and she had to wake up early to get ready. Jiang Yuning was wrapped up in a coc.o.o.n on his bed; his back was facing her.

“Mr. Jiang, it’s time to get up and have breakfast.”

The bundle of blankets shook its head.

Nian Xi repeated herself. “We’re going back to China in the afternoon.”

He turned to look at her. “Let me lie by myself for a moment. The person I like doesn’t want me anymore.”

His hurt eyes reminded Nian Xi of a sad and lost puppy. It tugged at her heartstrings.
