Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian

A while later, he stuttered, “I bought these for your grandma. I heard she’s in the hospital.”

Nian Xi was stunned, feeling slightly regretful.

She shouldn’t have assumed he had sexual disfunction when she saw him carrying those supplements.

“I don’t have sexual dysfunction.” As she stayed silent, Jiang Yuning added with a weak voice. His ears had even turned red.

Nian Xi didn’t know what to say.

Jiang Yuning turned, and said shyly, “Even though I never tried it.”

“Eh-hem,” Nian Xi looked outside the window and said, “The moon is so round tonight.”

“The moon? Where?” Jiang Yuning followed her eyes and asked with confusion.

…

Nian Xi looked carefully, didn’t see the moon.

At that very moment, she wished he could be mute again. She was so embarrassed.

“In my heart,” she struggled and said with difficulty.

Jiang Yuning blinked, slightly moved his lips. Before he said another word, Nian Xi interrupted him and said, “Why have you bought these for my grandma? She doesn’t have kidney problems.”

Hearing that, Jiang Yuning dropped his head with disappointment. “I bought these in the pharmacy,” he said, “I asked for the good and expensive medicine for elderly people, so they recommended these for me. I bought them all. But your grandma doesn’t need them. What should I do? I bought the wrong medicines.”

Nian Xi knew he meant well. It was already impressive that a man like him bought supplements for her grandma. So, she hurriedly said to him, “This donkey-hide solution and protein powder are suitable for my grandma, though. As for the kidney solutions, I think you can save them for yourself.”

“I don’t need them,” Jiang Yuning paused briefly, then hurriedly shook his head and said, “I’m well. I’m good.”

Seeing his serious and anxious face, Nian Xi couldn’t help but laugh, “Eh… maybe you’ll be even better after you’ve had these.”

“Why do I need to be better?” Jiang Yuning gave her a sad glance, “I don’t have anyone to sleep with.”

Nian Xi honestly didn’t know how to respond to that.

She was always a thick-skinned person, but at that moment she felt herself blushing.

Also, why was he looking at her like that? Did he want her to sleep with him?

She thought for a moment, then said awkwardly, “I’ll give them to my grandpa. Next time, don’t waste money buying these. I have received your kindness.”

“Oh,” Jiang Yuning nodded, quickly lifted the shopping bags and said, “Put them in your car.”

Nian Xi opened the trunk of her car, Jiang Yuning put the bags in. Under the streetlight, he looked at her with his bright eyes, said, “Um… Your apartment is a mess. How about I clean it for you?”

Nian Xi stayed silent.

Jiang Yuning blinked, continued with, “It’s really a mess…”

“Alright, stop,” Nian Xi even wanted to cry when she heard a man call her apartment “a mess.” She was not lazy. She worked late all the time and never had the energy to clean her apartment. That was why the place was messy.

Before, Murong Cheng hired cleaning ladies for her every week. However, ever since she started rejecting blind dates, Murong Cheng stopped hiring cleaning ladies for her and also cut her allowance.

She wanted to bring a man home to clean her apartment for free, but she also understood that she should not use him like that.

“Don’t bother. It’s getting late. I’ll buy you dinner,” she looked at the time and said.

Jiang Yuning swallowed his saliva, said tremblingly, “Are you asking me out?”

“No… I…” Nian Xi wasn’t expecting that.

“Okay,” Jiang Yuning dropped his head shyly, said, “I have time.”
