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

Nian Xi didn’t even want to say another word.

But she responded to him with, “No, I don’t like your childhood sweetheart. Do you have a problem with that? Go and be with her if you do.”

“No, no. I have no problem with it.” Jiang Yuning shook his head quickly. “You don’t need to like anyone but me. I’ll tell her to go home. I’ll never use anything from her again.”

On hearing that, Nian Xi felt slightly better. It turned out Jiang Yuning was not beyond redemption.

“But… I might still need to talk about work with her at times.” Jiang Yuning continued, “That’s inevitable. It’s the same with you. You have male friends and colleagues. You said so yourself. I didn’t forbid you from spending time with them.”

“That’s different,” Nian Xi said. “Most of my male colleagues are married. Fang Qi is single, but he’s not fond of me. We’re like brother and sister.”

“What about… Feng Ji Chuan?” Jiang Yuning mumbled. “He brought materials to your office all the time, and you went to your nephew’s party with him.”

“That was because I wanted to solve my case as soon as possible. As for the party, I had no choice. Our families used to be friends. He and I have a lot of mutual acquaintances. I might inevitably run into him at some parties.”

“It’s the same for me,” Jiang Yuning nodded. “She and I have to attend some training together, the domestic ones, the international ones.”

Uh-huh. Nian Xi didn’t know what else to say.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yuning had learned to use her words against her. Clever boy.

“Xi, I think you need to trust me,” said Jiang Yuning seriously. “I only like you. In my eyes, you and my mother are the only two women in the world. You said that He Xin likes me. I don’t know about that, because it’s none of my business. I don’t care if she likes me or not. Not in the past, not now, not ever.”
