Chapter 1285 - In My Eyes, Only You and My Mother Are Women (1/2)

Under her gaze, Jiang Yuning felt a little uneasy. Since last night she had become distant and aloof. He sensed she was backing away.

What should he say to her? He had no idea because he’d never experienced something like this before.

After spending a while struggling, he said quietly, “Xi, are you so unhappy because you don’t like me spending time with Xinxin?”

“Xinxin? Xinxin!” Nian Xi couldn’t help interrupting him. “You two seem so chummy. You even ate the food she put in your bowl. You have so much to talk about. You’re a perfect match! What am I? I’m someone who stole you away from her!”

Aargh! Back in the lab, she was trying her best to restrain her anger. She didn’t want to yell at him in front of He Xin.

She admitted she was possessive. She couldn’t allow any impurity in her relations.h.i.+p. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have broken up with Feng Ji Chuan.

Jiang Yuning froze.

He blinked, not knowing what to do next. After taking a deep breath, he stammered, “We are not close… I-I call her that since I was little. My mom told me to.”

Nian Xi was so angry she almost burst into tears. She looked away so she wouldn’t see him. Looking at him made her feel even sadder.

“Xi, please don’t be mad at me. I won’t call her that anymore if you don’t like it.” Jiang Yuning teasingly pulled her sleeve. “I didn’t eat the food she put in my bowl.”

“I saw it with my own eyes!” Nian Xi said. “Don’t you have any feeling that she likes you? I only spent a few minutes in that lab, and it’s obvious to me that she does. I could feel it.”

Confused, Jiang Yuning shook his head and said, “I can’t tell if she likes me or not. But I can tell that you don’t like her.”
