Luosang knocked her head. She used to think that she was smart, but now, she felt she was silly. Nian Xi and Nian Junting made it sound so real that all the others believed them.

“I don’t think police officers can lie to people like that, can they?” she asked.

“Nope. That’s why I told Nian Xi to pretend to not know us,” Nian Junting explained. “You don’t have surveillance cameras in your hallway, and they insisted that someone witnessed you take the money. So, it was quite difficult to prove that your innocence. In order to end the whole thing as quickly as possible, we came up with that idea. Checking for fingerprints was just the first step, as they could still explain. We just wanted to freak them out step by step and make them tell the truth. We couldn’t start from Ni Miao, so we had to focus on He Ruyi.”

“So you don’t have any proof today,” said Luosang knowingly. “Nian Xi is amazing. Last year, she didn’t seem to be so reliable. But after watching her deal with the case earlier today, I think she could be a great lawyer or prosecutor.”

“Earlier this year, her police station sent her to another province for training. She’s got some improvement.” Nian Junting nodded and said, “She’s lacking good wrestling skills as a policewoman, so sometimes, I worry about her. Therefore, I’ve been giving her quite some books about the public prosecutor examination recently. Hopefully, she’ll switch to another job. The rest of the family agrees with me. As for the idea today, that came from me…”

While speaking, he paused slightly and glanced at her.

Luosang felt as if every cell in his body was even shouting—’Compliment me now!’

“Yeah… In order to thank you, I’ve even given myself to you,” she said.

Hearing that, Nian Junting raised his eyebrows, then nodded with satisfaction. But when raising his head, he found that his car was right in front of him. He knitted his brows, wondering why couldn’t this road be longer.

“Your school is tiny,” he said.

“Tiny?” Luosang replied, “You’d need to spend an entire hour to take a circle around our school.”

Nian Junting stopped walking, fixed his eyes on her, and said with a deep and charming voice, “I don’t know about that. I only know that we’ve walked to my car within a blink of an eye.”

Luosang gave a start. Her face blushed when she realized what he meant, and her heart began thumping.

At that moment, he bent over and leaned his upper body forward.

In her eyes, his handsome face was getting closer and closer to her.

She even forgot to breathe, until a feather-light kiss landed on her forehead.

After that, she sighed slightly. She thought that he was going to kiss her.

“Are you disappointed?” He smiled and said, “I’ll kiss you next time. We’ve been in haste today, but I don’t want to scare you.”

“I’m not disappointed,” she said.

“Women never say what they mean. I’ve been reading a book recently. The book says when a woman says ‘no’, she actually means ‘yes’, vice versa.”

Luosang clenched her teeth.

“Mr. Nian,” she said, “What kind of books have you been reading? Can you please stop reading it? I beg you.”

“If you spend more time with me, I’ll quit reading it. I might continue reading it if I get bored staying alone with nothing to do.” Nian Junting gave a smile.

Luosang sighed again. “Aren’t you running a public company? How can you have nothing to do as you run such a large company?”

“I’ve earned too much money recently, so I plan to rest for a while,” he said.

Luosang wanted to beat him. “Mr. Nian, if you stay longer, I might be late for my class.”

If he stayed longer, she might want to bite him.

“Em, alright, call me if anyone tries to bully you.” After saying that, Nian Junting got into the car and left.
