He Xin clenched her teeth. Her cheeks burned when she heard what Nian Xi said.

“I hope you know what’s the right thing to do. I, Nian Xi, am not a weak girl whom you think you can fool.” Nian Xi finished talking, put the handcuffs back into the pocket of her trousers, turned and left, without looking back.

She believed that He Xin wouldn’t have the courage to come up with another dirty trick to try to win Jiang Yuning.

He Xin stood there, frozen. A short while later, Uncle Han showed up behind her and said, “Miss He, let it go. Come on, let’s go home.”

“Uncle Han…” He Xin raised her head and looked at Uncle Han with red eyes. “You know?”

“Mr. Jiang is a simple-minded boy. Unlike him, I clearly know about your feelings for him.” Uncle Han said, “Mr. Jiang doesn’t have the same feelings for you. Nothing would change even if you managed to make Miss Nian leave him. Besides, Miss Nian is a tough cookie. You don’t want to hurt yourself in the end.”

He Xin sighed with a big smile.

Perhaps, she was wrong. When facing a girl like Nian Xi, she honestly had no chance to win.

Nian Xi arrived at the police station. Cheng Jing looked at her from head to toe, then whispered to her, “You didn’t go home last night. You didn’t even change your clothes. Did you stay in Professor Jiang’s place for the night?”

Nian Xi wasn’t really into fashion, but normally she changed her clothes every day. After she got together with Jiang Yuning, she even put on light makeup some times.

“No, I was at my brother’s place last night.” Nian Xi turned to drink some water, feeling slightly awkward.

“Oh,” said Cheng Jing with disappointment. “I thought you slept with Professor Jiang already.”

Nian Xi coughed, swallowed the water in her mouth with an effort, then glared at her and said with a serious face, “You married women are nasty.”

“It’s nothing. We’re all adults. You guys will have sex sooner or later, right? Besides, you don’t seem like an inexperienced person at all.” Cheng Jing laughed.

Nian Xi didn’t know what to say. It seemed that people had some big misunderstandings about her.

“I’ve been so busy. How can I possibly be so experienced about that kind of thing?” Nian Xi sighed. She was going to consult Cheng Jing about why the penetration failed last night, but now, she couldn’t ask her.

Cheng Jing tittered. “Professor Jiang seems innocent though. I guess you’ll be the one initiating the whole thing when that day comes.”

Nian Xi dropped her head, quietly drinking the water. Her mouth corners twitched.

In the afternoon, she received a call from Jiang Yuning. “Baby Xi, are you free tonight? I think I need to apologize to your brother in person.”

“Are you sure?” Nian Xi furrowed her brows. “My brother has been pretty upset. He might be really mean to you.”

“He’d hate me even more if I don’t apologize to him,” said Jiang Yuning with a low voice. “I got my driver’s license this morning.”

“All right.”

Nian Xi wasn’t surprised about how soon he had gotten his driver’s license.

After ending the call, Nian Xi called Nian Junting. “Yuning wants to apologize to you tonight. Don’t be too harsh to him. After all, he didn’t mean it to happen.”

“Hehe, he didn’t mean it, so I have to forgive him? Not even the law says that.” Nian Junting laughed coldly. “My chest has been aching the last few days. Who’s gonna be responsible for my body?”

“What do you want?” Nian Xi was suffering from a headache. “After all, he’s my boyfriend. Do you want us to break up? Do you want me to be single forever?”

“Is he so good?” Nian Junting complained. “He gave you a crappy robot as a gift.”

“He didn’t make that robot. He was a victim too,” said Nian Xi. “His own work is rather reliable. Isn’t Apple’s watch the best proof? Besides, if he didn’t have that capability, would he be invited to an international conference of physics? How many people in our country can be invited to a grand conference like that?”
