Chapter 603: You Young Girls Are Energetic

Speaking of Yi Jingxi, Luosang recalled what Zhong Yi had said. Zhong Yi had done so many bad things to her, but she thought Yi Jingxi had done them. Those things might be part of the reason why the misunderstanding between her and Yi Jingxi had gone deeper and deeper, and why her disappointment in him turned into hatred.

Even though Zhong Yi deserved all the misery, Luosang felt it was meaningless for Yi Jingxi to get revenge on her. Zhong Yi wouldn’t have used him if he hadn’t gotten close to her in the first place.

“Last time, you said that you’d help me dig up Yi Jingxi’s past. Is there a result yet?” she asked.

“You reminded me. I did find something. I’ve been too busy these past few days, so I forgot to tell you. Yi Jingxi’s father is gone. He has a mother who lives in a great sanatorium in An City. Her last name is Chu.”

“Chu?” Luosang’s eyes popped. “My father told me that he once had a student named Chu Lei. My mother thought there was something going on between him and that student, so my dad took Chu Lei to all kinds of places just to make my mom angry…”

“You didn’t tell me about that.” Nian Junting frowned. “Maybe his mother is the reason why he hates your family. Is there some kind of misunderstanding? I don’t think he’d want to get revenge on you if your father did nothing but take his mother to some places.”

“I don’t know. The day after tomorrow is the weekend. I’m gonna ask for leave and make a trip to An City. Give me her address,” said Luosang eagerly.

“Bad things happen every single time you meet Yi Jingxi. This time, you’re going to see his mother. It’s like going to an extremely dangerous place. I’ll go with you,” said Nian Junting.

“But you’ve been absent from work because of Leng Shuangwei. If you leave again…”

“Xiao Si is coming back, anyway. He’ll be doing the work for now. He should do something as the vice CEO.”

“Have you decided to let him come back?” Luosang wanted to laugh but also felt sorry as she recalled Xiao Si’s WeChat Moments. He complained about how cold and lonely it was in the Northwest in every post.

“Um, I called him earlier. He was happy. He said that he’ll pack his things and come back from Dun-Huang tonight,” Nian Junting said. “I think he’ll arrive tomorrow morning.”

Luosang really wanted to laugh. “How miserable is his life in the Northwest? Is he so eager to come back?”

Nian Junting sneered. “That’s probably the worst place he’s ever been in his life. He never spent a day in the army, and he’s a spoiled child. He’s lazy. He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and he has never faced any difficulties.”

Luosang did feel that Xiao Si really had a lot of free time as a vice CEO. “But he has lots of friends. People like him are needed everywhere. You both complement one another.”

“Who wants to compliment him? I’m much more easy-going and popular than him.” Nian Junting gave a cold smile.

Luosang didn’t respond. She would not believe that.

She finished eating, then closed her eyes and rested for a while. Abruptly, she felt that the car had stopped. She opened her eyes and found herself under a tree. It was midnight. Almost no cars came to this area, and there was no one around. Her heart missed a beat. Then, she turned to look at the man who was staring at her in a meaningful way, hands resting on the steering wheel.

“Are we really going back like this?” Nian Junting looked at her with eyes glowing brightly.

“Or… what?” Luosang wished that things weren’t like what she thought.

“We can do something else. I’ll finish quickly.” Nian Junting’s slender fingers slowly crawled toward her over the steering wheel and held Luosang’s hand. “You see, I’m thirty, while you’re only twenty-three. You little girls are so energetic. You people often stay up all night in internet cafes or bars, but the next day, you’re still full of vigor.”

“You’re not thinking about making love in the car, are you?” Luosang couldn’t believe how bold Nian Junting was.
